Freshman students are making connections through hands on learning. English 9 students are participating in an hexagonal thinking activity after reading the short story, "The Lottery" by Shirly Jackson. Students had to arrange key concepts from the story on each tile and place related tiles next to each other, essentially building a web of connections that would then help them explain relationships in the story. #LeadOn #orabs #sheldonorabs #thelottery #shortstories #english9
