A new week; we’re starting a new unit as we phase out some of what we’ve done before. I’m excited about this unit; it’s all about telling one’s own story in various ways. Students will have an opportunity to write a monologue from an interview, a poem explaining their heritage, and a research study of their own name. It should be a great unit – I almost worry that we can’t get everything done in just six weeks!
