Schools That ‘Flow’

Students in an alternative high school have a weeklong unit on the history, math, and science of Motown music. It is the only week in the school’s history with perfect attendance.
Middle school students create history projects around areas that interest them, in formats ranging from exhibits, to skits, to PowerPoint presentations. Their topics include the Silk Road, the disappearance of the Roanoke colony, and the discovery of America by the Vikings.
