Wiggin's Classroom

This week 7th grade Wit and Wisdom classes (Mrs Dixon, Mrs Sherman, and Coach Wiggin) created and performed Tableaus based on Escape from Mazanar which details the memoirs of a schoolgirl raised in an internment camp for Japanese Americans. Tableaus are an innovative illustration where students create a frozen, silent picture to illustrate the scene and reactions of characters. In this lesson, students analyzed the impact of the plot and settings on characters demonstrating their understanding through the creation, planning, and performance of tableaus of different sections of the book. Every student can show greatness and interact with complex texts creating innovative and in-depth projects.
