This I Believe Essay
The sophomores in Sophomore Comp and Lit A work on a personal narrative assignment called "This I Believe." This assignment comes from NPR and calls for high school students to submit a personal narrative that highlights what they believe in. The stories of my students are amazing and they have been so raw. Students present/perform their stories in front of their peers and after they have heard everyone's story, we celebrate one another by praising each other and coming together as one community. The classroom is open for students to say, "I was really surprised by Mark's story. I have known him my entire life and I never knew this about him. Thanks for sharing." Students are so amazing when they come together and we learn to listen to each other, understand each other, and accept each other. It is one of the most difficult days, but also the most rewarding and amazing.
