All the ways you can love

LISTEN, I READ
BOOK: YUCK, A LOVE STORY
AUTHOR: MARIE-LOUISE GAY

As a class we are going to examine the concept of love. Who do we love? What does love look like? Why do we love? How does love feel? Where do we feel love? Through literature and video, each student will answer the question for themselves and create a video answering the question, what is love?
