Students in Ms. Lopez's French II class introduced various francophone (French-speaking) regions to one another using brochures that they completed independently. Each brochure highlighted important cultural and historical facts while incorporating French vocabulary and sentence structure, and allowed the students to showcase their individual creativity. Students divided into small groups to present their brochures in both French and English and collaboratively gave constructive feedback to prepare for future class presentations. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Seniors may act like they're too cool to make giant compound sentences with appropriate conjunctions and punctuation, but they secretly enjoy it. Mrs. Jill Andrews' class broke into small groups and had a competition to see who could make the longest compound-complex sentence with correct punctuation, of course. First place was 22 clauses. Second place was 21 clauses. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE

Mrs. Williams is currently teaching her CHS Art I class the grid method for drawing in proportion. This method is a gentle push into helping beginner artists look at comparing measurements and identifying relationships between the different aspects/features of a subject. For example, one corner of the mouth may be slightly higher than the other; the shape of one nostril might be slightly more triangular than the other. "I have a great group of Art I kids; they are working hard to make their portraits as accurate as they can," Mrs. Williams told us. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
