Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

This is an addition to the other project I have posted here. I found that I am missing some key components to building the dioramas that I had originally intended so I added some more sets that will provide countless options. My students are always trying to find new and interesting ways to show how they are comprehending my Shakespeare Unit. Using Legos, they will be able to build scenery and complete dioramas to better illustrate what they are trying to convey. The structures and colors can all be representative of motifs, symbols, and emotional states as my students come with me on a wondrous journey into the worlds that Shakespeare helped to create. I am starting small, with only a few sets, but I am hoping to grow this into a creative measure that will continue to expand into a full display captivating a complete scene in one of several plays that we analyze in my classroom.
