Is a memoir written by author Jodee Blanco. This emotionally charging piece of non-fiction depicts Blanco's childhood and chronicles her experiences with bullies. The freshmen in Mrs. White's English 9 class were required to read this piece of non-fiction, discuss, and complete different tasks throughout the reading.
At the conclusion of the novel, students were to complete a project that demonstrates an anti-bully campaign and illustrates their reviews of the book. Many students chose to illustrate project requirements through a movie or a presentation. Enclosed are some of their finished products.
Mrs. White and I are extremely pleased with her students' insights and abilities to communicate problems with bullying. The students' use of technology to complete this task allows for such creativity and sets a great stage for the students to showcase their learning from the novel. Mrs. White has done such a fantastic job with integrating technology with this project. This experience for the students will be remembered far beyond freshmen English. Kudos to her!
