Unit 3: Struggle

We began Unit 3 yesterday and the students did a wonderful job of identifying their own struggles and respecting their peer's struggles. Our activity was called What's In Our Hearts. I can tell this is going to be a very powerful unit!







Please visit What Are We Studying? to learn more about our unit. For the rest of the week we will be reading a chapter of Bridge to Terabithia, attempting to identify how the plot of this chapter unfolds, what the character's struggle is, and how this struggle changes the character.

For homework, we've asked students to bring in an example of struggle from outside of the classroom. This can be a quote from a novel, a news story, a photograph, or anything else tangible that can be put onto a bulletin board to depict different instances of struggle. This is due Friday.
