Mrs. Thornburg's Humanities students wrote, produced, and directed a completely original evening event called "Coming to the table"
Under the mentorship of UNCC Professor Julia Murray, Ms. Thornburg's students explored what it means to be invited to a seat a the table, indeed what a table means and what diversity means through a multidimensional exploration of the theme of inclusion and exclusion in a community. Part art, part activism and all Thornburg songs, dance, a studnet produced documentary video were all featured. Below is a trailer and a scene from the evening. Kudos to Ms. Thornburg for letting her students drive the learning and to all her students for their creative work.
