Schools – Brick Scholars

Brick-a-Novel

Program Details

Program Description

Students work collaboratively as teams to create a story quilt of key plot points and scenes of short stories, books and plays using LEGO bricks. View this video to see a ninth grade Honors English class Brick-a-Novel Shakespeares’ Romeo and Juliet. This workshop can be tailored to other subjects.

Brick Scholars created a tailored workshop based on its program, “Brick-a-Novel,” for Early College EAST High School English I classes who studied Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.” See this WNCT Channel 9 News video featuring the workshop for more detail.

Early College EAST High School is a STEM Early College and students are exposed to the engineering design process. Students are required to take an engineering course their freshmen year. Students transferred their design process skills to bricking “Romeo and Juliet” as they recreated the play in its entirety, recounting key plot points in each act. Students finished the workshop by building the theme of the play in groups. They used the 4C’s throughout the workshop — collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking. They are indeed, Brick Scholars.
