Throughout the spring semester, 14 eighth grade gifted
education students at Kings Mountain Middle School were
involved in a project sponsored by the Cleveland County
Arts Council.
“Trouble in Riddle City” provided the students with the
opportunity to build a model city by using individual, small
group, and whole class problem solving skills.
Boiling Springs Manager, Greg McGinnis, talked with the
students about a variety of things to be considered when
planning a city. Throughout the question and answer ses-
sion, discussion took place regarding the use of local, state,
and federal budgeting funds, handling pollution and water
treatment, recycling and trash pickup, traffic flow, and
building codes for residential, business, recreation, and
industrial planning.
Students were then introduced to a variety of problems
and began to plan and build Riddle City. The completed
model was on display at the KMMS awards assembly.
Participating the building of Riddle City were Halie
Calvert, Brianna Grant, Ben Hart, Andrew Livsie, Megan
Lowery, Chelsey McNeill, Edmundo Obando, Lorrin Plyler,
Sara Roberts, Anthony Simpson, Josh Slycord, Telania
Thomas, Angela Wall, and Laura Weigel.
“We would like to thank the Cleveland County Arts
Council for funding the “Trouble in Riddle City’ project,”
said teacher Sarah Cole. “Not only was it a fun activity in
which the students displayed their artistic ability, but it also
provided an opportunity for students to work together in
improving their communication and problem-solving
skills.”
