7th Grade Upcycle Unit started off on a serious note as students dove deep thinking critically about social issues and their interconnectedness to them. After analyzing the levels of impact of social issues and group discussion, students selected a social issue that was important to them to create a collage. The collage is framed with words that relate to the issue in some way. The symbol in the center of the frame is also made up of small magazine clippings. The final piece was using the App SonicPics to reflect on their choice of Social Issue by explaining what the issue is and justifying the word and symbol choice.
