Christopher Rhodes
Chris interviewed his grandpa who was in two POW camps during World War II . Chris has also looked over many old newspapers from the time period.
My uncle told me that the ovens, where people were burned, heated everything. Sometimes they would go up to the vents and kind of sniff or listen to see if someone was being burned. The only thing we could do was wait for the heat to come.”

-Jacqueline
Lindsay and Jacqueline studied sign language and also interviewed deaf students. The two girls then put sign language into their entire play!
It was so fun! We met with two deaf people that helped us learn sign language for our performance. It was neat to learn how the deaf society communicates and learns. I can’t believe we did it, but we sure learned a lot.
