Brown Girl Dreaming-Part 2

Recipe for Jacqueline Woodson

1 cup of Family 
1/2 cup of Activism 
Pinch of South Carolina
2 cups of Civil Rights Acts
1/4 cup of Religion
6 cups of Story Telling







Poem:


  Jacqueline Woodson, you inspire many to read your book.
 The way you speak up, write, and share a story 
Invading our minds while holding the book
Always advocating for change

Let me compare you to Rosa Park?
You are more like her than we think
Tears flood the eyes of the reader 
And the new year has the chance to change

How do you still have love? Let me count the ways.
Your heart, mouth, mind
Thinking of your mind fills my day 
The love you have spread throughout the world is so unspeakable

Now I must go and grab your book
Remembering your words and the change that you have sparked

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...
