OHS COHORT CLASS DECHIPERS OBENGLOBISH

Former Absegami Social Studies Teacher, Dale Colman, recently made a three-day visit to an Oakcrest High School World History and English cohort class. During his presentation, Colman had students decode a language called Obenglobish, connecting to what archeologists had to do with the Rosetta stone.

Students from Joe Costal's English class and Kristin Daube's history class combined English and social studies skills to determine if the document in question was authentic. They used the reference center of the library to see if places like Stonehenge and Easter Island were real.

 The three-day presentation was both interesting and applicable. "Students were fascinated once they unlocked the key to their newly discovered language," said Marcia Colman, special education teacher at OHS and wife of Dale Colman.

 "When is Mr. Colman coming again?" freshman Sammi Gardener asked. “That was fun!”
