Kumpf Sixth Graders Create Book Celebrate Black History Month
Since the beginning of February, students in Mrs. Sasso’s sixth grade language arts classes at Carl H. Kumpf Middle School have been working on a biography project in celebration of Black History Month. They began by researching and taking notes about an influential African American. Then, they took that information and created the draft of an article. After revising and editing their drafts, each student copied their work onto Google’s Book Creator and added in some graphics. Some students even created bitmojis, avatars, and timelines about their person. Sasso stated, “The work ethic and creativity they showed during this project was beyond impressive, and the final product, a digital book of all the students’ work, is evidence of that.”
