These murals served their purpose perfectly in Expressions, but spurred a lot of talk. They were a perfect example of summarive assessment for The Perspectuve Unit but they also inspired 6th grade math investigations, a restorative justice project, and a conversation about school-wide instructional approaches.
This project was definitely worth taking a risk. I know not all risks will result in the same way but I am assured by this process that taking risks is what it's ALL about!
