🎲 English 9 Board Game Projects! 📚
Mrs. Celello’s English 9 students took on a creative challenge — designing educational board games inspired by “The Most Dangerous Game.”
As part of a mock project for “Matell,” students acted as toy company developers tasked with creating fun, learning-focused games based on classic literature. The results were imaginative, detailed, and seriously impressive! 👏
