By staging a rendition of “The Diary of Anne Frank” as an immersive experience, students did more than perform a play. They brought the audience onstage, placing them "in the attic" alongside the actors. In this production, the attic itself functioned as a character, designed to provide the audience with a profound, enveloping-type experience.
Students in sixth grade classes, taught by Shannon Bentley-Carroll and Alexis Beetlestone, read the novel “The Color of My Words.” They compared and contrasted the character Anna Rosa with their own, analyzed text-based evidence, shared responsibilities in literature circles, and examined literary elements. The culminating activity, co-taught by the classroom teachers and the AAPS teacher, used the Six Hats strategy to explore different perspectives.
