Western industrial classes finish projects

In eighth grade, most students are required to take an elective called Western Industrial. Western Industrial is an American History class that focuses on the years of 1866  to 1900. In  Gary Davis’ class, all of the students are currently working on a project. The students are drawing and coloring a poster.
