Coming up in #AmericanLit this week as we apply @Tolerance_org Social Justice Standards of Identity and Diversity. #room290 👇🏽
IDENTITY
Ss will study a variety of @thisibelieveinc #mentortexts before writing their own. As we read, we continue the small, daily, self-reflective writing.
This #writersnotebook work means that Ss will already have a rich source of material ready when they start composing.

After considering their own beliefs, and the stories that inform those beliefs, Ss will watch the documentary American Creed.
Using some of @facinghistory @writingproject supplemental materials, Ss will look at the beliefs & stories that make up America & Americans.

Today in #room290, this is what #DisruptTexts looked like: after reading several articles relating to the Vietnam War (our whole class novel is Fallen Angels by Walter Dean Myers), we created a list of perspectives that haven't read yet: Who's voice is missing?
And because I had purposefully left out the perspectives of the Vietnamese, Ss pointed out how we hadn't yet heard not only from that point-of-view, but also surrounding countries. Then we ended class reading this wonderful piece by @viet_t_nguyen #DisruptTexts
"The tendency to separate war stories from immigrant stories means that most Americans don’t understand how many of the immigrants and refugees in the United States have fled from wars — many of which this country has had a hand in." #DisruptTexts nytimes.com/2015/04/26/opi…
Ss who pass by #room290 will see models of writers with their notebooks! TY to my #pawlp @writingproject colleague @RealBrianKelley for these amazing visuals (and as you can see, I still got some space left! *hint hint*) #teachwriting #aplangchat #mentortexts 😉 
And @RealBrianKelley, if you're taking requests, I think @mindykaling would make a fine addition to this collection. :) hellogiggles.com/reviews-covera…
