The Value of Relationships In An IB School

LISTEN, I READ
BOOK: THE LANDING
AUTHOR: JOHN IBBITSON

The students have expressed an interest in joining the action group. They are about to study Heroes and will soon inquire on Children's Rights. I instruct the students in Literature responses with an emphasis on opinions, thoughts connections and relating to their own life experiences. I hope that through studying this particular book, we may delve into the life of others and make meaning of our own. It is my intention for the students to perhaps approach this from a journalistic /interview method. If another method comes up from the students` exploration, it will be acknowledged so a video may be achieved.
