Baltimore artist Alyssa Fenix and city teacher Vesna Grujicic worked with the Springboard grade 10 unit, "Voices in Synthesis," creating arts integrated activities that guide students to advocate for themselves, others, and issues of importance to them. Students will be empowered to see their voices as essential in making change, and use them in visual art activities to state claims and arguments.

Inspired by Odell Grade 10 Unit, "How Do We Determine the Right Thing to Do?" Ephraim Nehemiah and Ryan Fan delve into the processes of ethical decision-making and the reasoning behind credible arguments. Using the power of the arts to persuade, they explore ambiguous scenarios in philosophy, literary texts, and media, helping students develop skills in constructing arguments through live debate and written narratives.
