Each student selected a personal passion, proposed their own project, designed a rubric, and brought their ideas to life through both a physical product and a presentation.
The creativity was incredible! Students crafted Elizabethan hairstyles using mannequins—and even recruited their younger TMS siblings as models—built papier-mâché drama and plague masks, designed 3D models of the Globe Theatre, and created a variety of breads, pastries, custards, and stews for classmates to enjoy. We also saw some truly impressive artwork!
We’re so proud of their hard work, creativity, and willingness to take ownership of their learning. 👏
