LAUNCH GRADE 11: TAKE ACTION! Reflection A) How can sharing a story be more powerful than just making a list or telling someone what you think? What is it about details that makes a story more interesting? Relatable? Believable? B) Why do great stories affect us and stick with us throughout the years? What does a great story demonstrate about its main characters? About its setting? About its author? LESSON EXTENSIONS * Invite other classes, parents, or other community members to participate in your Personal Storytelling event in Lesson 19. Students will read their stories aloud and celebrate the assets of their community. * Further explore figurative language with the english Language Arts teacher.
