About the overarching Unit Question:

For the Conceptual Project, Juniors develop their abstract thinking and communication skills to answer the question

"How can I use unconventional forms to express myself?"

This project emphasizes creative risk-taking through poetry, music, art, animations, experimental film and web production, challenging students to express their opinions through a distinct personal aesthetic. Students begin developing their technical communication skills by learning a variety of modern professional equipment and applications such as DSLR cameras, Digital Audio Workstations (DAW), Wacom Cintiqs, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Animate, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Audition, Avid Pro Tools, WordPress websites, and Google Apps.

About the specific project within the unit that is featured in this gallery:

In English, Seniors experimented with a variety of comedic improvisation exercises, studied various professional pieces of visual, written, and spoken humor, learned comedic terms and techniques, and script and delivered an original performance (either recorded live in class or pre-recorded). In Digital Media, students used their English content to create a Humor Project website featuring a recording of your performance, comedic inspirations (such as the artists you studied), techniques practiced, problems solved, and a reflection about the enduring personal value of your learning process.
