NEW for 2012!
FOCUS on COLLABORATION!!!
We are adding a category challenge for 2012: Collaboration. [It is optional and individually created hexagons are always welcome.]
In keeping with the concept of Interdependence – understanding and practicing skills that lead to solutions, statements, understanding and outcomes that are greater than any one individual can produce –
…we challenge students and teachers to think of ways they might approach the project with an element of collaboration, teamwork, group interaction and/or problem-solving.
Recognition is given to students who demonstrate outstanding responses to the
themes of Interdependence in a variety of media. Questions? Please feel free to contact,
