The Generations Unit is an important part of Shipley's seventh grade curriculum. The multi-disciplinary unit asks students to explore the question of who they are in relation to history. Through interviewing family members and friends, examining artifacts and memorabilia, engaging in activities and reading books their interview subjects did when they were growing up, students learn about the past and get a new perspective on their own lives. With careful guidance, students manage and set their own deadlines to complete the nine assignments they are required to complete. It's a memorable unit for students and families alike. Learn more about the seventh grade Generations Project.
