SUMMARY:How We See Ourselves: Story-Driven Dialogue for ages 10-13
DESCRIPTION:What are the stories that we tell about ourselves? Why do we te
 ll these stories\, and how can those stories help us -- or hurt us?\n\nIn 
 this four-day literature course\, students explore how we develop our sens
 e of self by telling stories about ourselves and others --whether or not t
 hose stories are true! We'll read "The Good Deed" by Marion Dane Bauer\, "
 Charles" by Shirley Jackson\, and "Jason Who Will Be Famous” by Dorothy 
 Allison.  Each day’s 1‑hour session invites students to read closely\
 , discuss deeply\, and write thoughtfully using two core tools: a 6‑ques
 tion reading framework (analyzing the narrator\, characterization\, settin
 g\, plot\, message\, and theme) and 4 writing moves (summary\, claim\, evi
 dence\, analysis).\n\nBy the end of the week\, students will:\n\n 	Analyze
  how we use stories to define our sense of self\n 	Strengthen their abilit
 y to support claims with textual evidence\n 	Participate in a Socratic sem
 inar exploring the connections between texts and ideas\n 	Draft and refine
  a short essay with guided feedback\n
