https://padlet.com/dawsonfusion/Fusion2020Create In the spring of 2020, while Dawson students and teachers were learning and teaching from home, the Fusion editors had an idea to bring us together again: a community-building contest that would celebrate creativity. Here you’ll find the winning submissions along with all the other worthy contributions. Contest winners are listed first, and then by grade. Please see the Winners & Contributors post (top left) for a full listing of authors and artists. To search for a specific student's work, use the Find command (command/ctrl + F) and search by name. ***Contest categories are color-coded: "Life in 2020" is YELLOW, "Signs of Spring" is PINK" and "Wild Card" is GREEN.*** Enjoy! en-us 2020-04-30 11:52:06 UTC 2025-11-16 21:17:09 UTC hello@padlet.com dawsonfusion https://padlet.com/dawsonfusion/Fusion2020Create/wish/541704885 2020-04-30 12:04:55 UTC https://padlet.com/dawsonfusion/Fusion2020Create/wish/541704885 dawsonfusion https://padlet.com/dawsonfusion/Fusion2020Create/wish/542930154 Practicing my bread-making skills while in quarantine.

The worst thing that a victim can do is stay silent, so I've decided to try and share my experiences, both to help myself heal and to provide support for others who have been through similar things. I've personified the different traumas that I've experienced to try and convey how concrete they feel to me and to help others understand exactly how they've impacted me. I hope that my work gives readers an insight on the impacts of trauma and that it helps others feel like they are not alone. ]]> 2020-04-30 19:55:23 UTC https://padlet.com/dawsonfusion/Fusion2020Create/wish/542948559 dawsonfusion https://padlet.com/dawsonfusion/Fusion2020Create/wish/542949280 An oil painting of a woman]]> 2020-04-30 19:55:48 UTC https://padlet.com/dawsonfusion/Fusion2020Create/wish/542949280 dawsonfusion https://padlet.com/dawsonfusion/Fusion2020Create/wish/542949652 A written piece displays a dark juxtaposition in terms of morals to our own reality and also how ethnocentric beliefs would be understood in the minds and society.]]> 2020-04-30 19:56:02 UTC https://padlet.com/dawsonfusion/Fusion2020Create/wish/542949652 dawsonfusion https://padlet.com/dawsonfusion/Fusion2020Create/wish/542950093 Drawing]]> 2020-04-30 19:56:18 UTC https://padlet.com/dawsonfusion/Fusion2020Create/wish/542950093 dawsonfusion https://padlet.com/dawsonfusion/Fusion2020Create/wish/548910004 Desmos Aston Martin]]> 2020-05-04 11:04:17 UTC https://padlet.com/dawsonfusion/Fusion2020Create/wish/548910004 dawsonfusion https://padlet.com/dawsonfusion/Fusion2020Create/wish/548920260 A poem from my heart]]> 2020-05-04 11:09:41 UTC https://padlet.com/dawsonfusion/Fusion2020Create/wish/548920260 dawsonfusion https://padlet.com/dawsonfusion/Fusion2020Create/wish/548922812 Chalk art 2020 (Were all in this together)]]> 2020-05-04 11:11:09 UTC https://padlet.com/dawsonfusion/Fusion2020Create/wish/548922812 dawsonfusion https://padlet.com/dawsonfusion/Fusion2020Create/wish/548923594 Collage of photos of nature and stuff happening during quarantine]]> 2020-05-04 11:11:35 UTC https://padlet.com/dawsonfusion/Fusion2020Create/wish/548923594 dawsonfusion https://padlet.com/dawsonfusion/Fusion2020Create/wish/548924357 Video of Basketball Basket off of bounce]]> 2020-05-04 11:11:59 UTC https://padlet.com/dawsonfusion/Fusion2020Create/wish/548924357 dawsonfusion https://padlet.com/dawsonfusion/Fusion2020Create/wish/548928543 Word art on Earth Day]]> 2020-05-04 11:13:52 UTC https://padlet.com/dawsonfusion/Fusion2020Create/wish/548928543 dawsonfusion https://padlet.com/dawsonfusion/Fusion2020Create/wish/548930457 A poem about Quarantine]]> 2020-05-04 11:14:53 UTC https://padlet.com/dawsonfusion/Fusion2020Create/wish/548930457 dawsonfusion https://padlet.com/dawsonfusion/Fusion2020Create/wish/548932420 Spring has to start with a lot of rain to water all of those beautiful flowers.
