Materials Specific Details

This bound volume is the result of Class VII's capstone project, led by faculty Talia Varonos and Emily Salitan. Each student chose a word, researched the definition, origin, when the word was most popular, and what was happening in the world at that time, gave examples of word use, wrote why the student chose the word, and included citations and a word dedication. Students chose background page colors, fonts, and illustrations for their words.
