If you could design a 20-30 min writing intervention/skill building block for middle schoolers, what would you include? What routines would you use to structure the time?

I appreciated digging into Denver’s story a little more in Chapter 3. Previously, I mentioned that Denver must feel alone/lonely and this was confirmed in this chapter when it was revealed that her imagination is “badly needed because loneliness wore her out. Wore her out” (35). #BelovedFebruary

A few things stand out to me in Chapter 2 including the repetition of the tree metaphor, relationships between men and women, simple joys, and a comparison between shucking corn and freedom.

I’m rereading Beloved for the first time in 20 years with @heymrsbond and @marcusluther for #BelovedFebruary
The first thing that struck me as I was reading was the dual metaphors for intergenerational trauma - the haunted house and the tree of scars on Sethe’s back.

Today in firsts: presented in front of staff at a staff meeting today. Why is it so anxiety-inducing speaking to a roomful of adults in comparison to kids?
