As Mr. Smith's AP Lang students prepare to read John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men, they were placed in groups and tasked with synthesizing sources on topics such as the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl, and migrant labor in the 1930s. Each group was asked to provide 4-5 different types of sources (i.e., articles, podcasts, videos, etc.) and then explain what those sources have to say about their topics. Upon finishing their research, each group will present their findings to the rest of the class.
Mrs. Norris’s AP U.S. History students spent the day at our local archives to research the history of schools in Upson County. From textbooks used in one-room schoolhouses to vintage yearbooks, they learned how schools have evolved  over time!
