Final

  1-Arguments against children’s literature are very unrealistic let’s be honest. When You hear something like “we can’t afford thirty or fort copies of something we don’t know.” Makes you as a district look like you don’t care. Brown Girl Dreaming is a book that children in our district are able to relate to and just because you don’t does mean it gives you the right to not allow it to be in the curriculum that we are teaching. I know many of my students have actually had personal connections to the book and that why I think it’s important to include this book in our school district. The second argument “No one around here knows anything about it. If it was really worth knowing we’d have heard about it.” with this argument I question you. Have you chosen not to know anything about it? The fact of this one is that the child that is learning this has had experience with it and heard about it. I think this is such an easy way to avoid teaching topics that our students may know more a...

Rite of pasage

In order to get the rite of passage id, you have to complete a list of 5 things, which seem easy but they are the fundaments of life right here.  1. Get your license  2. Have a job 3. Start figuring out a savings account  4. Know what you want in the future  5. Have a stable living place I listed these because I think to be able to come of age you have to start being like an adult and getting your stuff figured out. I think you have to have more put together than just a semi-plan of this is what's going to happen. I don't think you have to have everything figured out but at least a little would be the best.

Lesson Plan

 1. Mental health hotline resource:https://namimn.org/support/resources/crisis-resources/ 2. https://sites.google.com/a/mystma.org/7th-grade-health-and-physical-education--mrs-lapointe/unit-1-mental-health-1 3. Parent letters before reading and having this lesson 4. I also looked into how to have a conversation with student 5. How students reacted to conversation like this one Things I still need to figure out: What grade I am thinking either 6th grade of 7th grade  How I am going organize my assignment and the history and content behind that 

Unit Plan Plan

 Week One: Week Two; Week three: Week Four: I think I plan to do my unit project on the book Don't Call Me Crazy I wrote bullet points on what I think I choose to include.  1. During the first week I would do an introduction to mental health and start reading the book  2. During the second week I would have them take one of the stories and really dive into their own self and figure out what they can relate to and have them teach a small group. This would then lead to some discussions. 3. Third week I would have them do a project around the story of their choice and I would make sure to have the projects all setup and assigned to each piece of work.  4. The last week I would have them create a project that takes one of the stories that they felt like they will remember the most and create a dream board kind of project to show how it impacted them and how they won't forget it. 

Book Theift

  “She leaned down and looked at his lifeless face and Leisel kissed her best friend, Rudy Steiner, soft and true on his lips. He tasted dusty and sweet. He tasted like regret in the shadows of trees and in the glow of the anarchist's suit collection. She kissed him long and soft, and when she pulled herself away, she touched his mouth with her fingers...She did not say goodbye. She was incapable, and after a few more minutes at his side, she was able to tear herself from the ground. It amazes me what humans can do, even when streams are flowing down their faces and they stagger on...”     I think this passage was very important because it made it so that a reader was able to understand how hard the situation was. It was able to pull me closer to understanding the characters and the story. I think that the characters were going through. I was able to fully understand the emotions and the heartbreak that was occurring. I think without this passage you would not have had th...
