1. practicing foundational skills: learning and practicing new vocabulary, reading comprehension, writing activities, critical inquiry, and discussion-based activities;
2. literature and ethics: developing ethical awareness and social justice awareness by exploring a diversity of personal stories, histories, and global contexts, ways of being in the world, values, attitudes, and beliefs;
3. windows and mirrors: empowering students to see themselves reflected in different stories that can provide pathways towards self-love and self-affirmation, grappling with the complexities of one's identity, making sense of belonging to different communities and sharing the world with other people, etc.]]> 2021-07-20 00:34:00 UTC https://padlet.com/macarahmorgan21/82mkcgaopks7qj2x/wish/1655259504 Activities macarahmorgan21 https://padlet.com/macarahmorgan21/82mkcgaopks7qj2x/wish/1655259736 Opinionated writing activity based off book ie. book review, critical piece]]> 2021-07-20 00:34:09 UTC https://padlet.com/macarahmorgan21/82mkcgaopks7qj2x/wish/1655259736 Reading sections the mentee selects aloud and stopping to discuss any questions or issues that occur in the story that present a unique perspective or something that the mentee is uncomfortable with.
