For Card-Marking Period Six, students were asked to choose a biography or memoir for their sustained silent reading novel. The culminating project for their reading was to write a “Where I’m From” poem adaptation from the point of view of their subject.
After sharing their poem with the class, students were asked to share a reflective statement during our circle-up.
Dunia Aboughaida, a 10th grader in Honors Language Arts, shared this gem, “This project connected to the theme of survival because all the people that we read about did something with their lives– I think, ultimately, that survival is more than just being able to live through hardships, but more so being able to leave a legacy to learn from.”
