Mrs. Bauserman's French 3 class has been reading the book "Le Petit Prince" by Antoine de St-Exupery. As a culminating project, students had to create an "8th planet " for the main character The Little Prince to visit. Essentially inserting their own chapter into the book! They had to write a chapter as well as make a 3D model of the story. Students explored many themes from equality, judgment, friendships, sadness, childhood versus adulthood, and innocence. The projects are on display in the Luray High School library.
