Content Area: English Language Arts and Literacy
Grades: 6-8

Students are provided multiple entry points to research, reflect, and ruminate on the essential question: "How does our culture affect us individually and as a community?" Students write a personal narrative exploring one of four prompts related to culture. Students then illustrate their essay with a visual presentation of their choice (i.e., movie, PowerPoint, poster, etc.) and present the essay and illustration to the class. As a culminating event, essays and visuals are displayed at a school-wide cultural potluck event for parents, families, and community members.
