What's Cool in Our Schools

Exploring Themes with Scavenger Hunts

8th grade ELA students at Millennium Middle School recently embarked on a classroom scavenger hunt. Students worked to match quotes and topics from the selected short story. They crafted thematic statements based on their findings, strengthening their analytical skills while engaging in a fun, interactive activity.
