To wrap up their unit on British Romanticism, seniors explored the era's focus on nature, rebellion, creativity, individualism, and inspiration. They started by writing poems that captured these themes, then used AI to turn their words into music. By experimenting with different genres, speeds, and voices, students transformed their poetry into unique songs while staying true to the spirit of the time period. Here are a few examples of their finished products:

The Foods II classes recently mastered the art of soft pretzels! After preparing a fresh yeast dough and hand-shaping each piece, students were surprised to learn that a baking soda bath is essential before baking. Whether finished with classic sea salt or a sweet cinnamon-sugar coating, the final results were delicious!
