Reformation Shown in Today's Eyes

Hemlock Middle School 8th-grade students recently were assigned to create an 1800’s Reform Movement Magazine cover as part of their social studies class. In the era of woman’s rights, slavery, and reformation, the students in Mrs. Bishop’s class stepped up to the challenge.  Students had to include visuals, articles, prominent reformers, social problems, and their solutions.  They then had to present to their class.

Social Studies teacher Dana Bishop shared, “I was blown away by the student's creativity and attention to detail.  Students went above and beyond the requirements and I was truly impressed with their magazine covers. I love being able to push students to think outside the box, especially when it comes to Social Studies.”

Principal Joshua Chase stated, “Just another reason to be proud of being a Hemlock Huskie.  Our students rise to the challenges set forth by our educators.  Very impressive projects by many students and fantastic learning happening in this classroom!”

Many of the students linked the reform movement of the 1800s to the reform movements of today.  Their marketing skills and knowledge shined through with this assignment
