Mrs. Bohon's seventh-grade reading classes at GMS completed a novel study of “The Coffin Quilt" by Ann Rinaldi. The novel is based on the Hatfield and McCoy feud from the 1800s. Students completed a final project by writing essays comparing themes, character traits, and family dynamics to their personal lives. Mrs. Heffinger provided historical context to quilting patterns, designs, and skills to Mrs. Bohon's students. They sewed small squares and observed different types of quilts. Additionally, Mrs. Heffinger collaborated with Mrs. Bohon on creating a quilt representing each student's family. Each quilt square was created by the students including a modern "family crest" symbolizing their family dynamics.
