SUMMARY:How We See Ourselves: Story-Driven Dialogue for ages 14-17
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 their values and belief
 s about what it takes to build a "better" society through two poems and on
 e short story: "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by TS Eliot (poem)\, 
 "Jason Who Will Be Famous" by Dorothy Allison (story)\, and "Song of mysel
 f" by Walt Whitman (poem). Each day’s 1.5‑hour session invites student
 s to read closely\, discuss deeply\, and write thoughtfully using two core
  tools: a 6‑question reading framework (analyzing the narrator\, charact
 erization\, setting\, plot\, message\, and theme) and 4 writing moves (sum
 mary\, claim\, evidence\, analysis).\n\nBy the end of the week\, students 
 will:\n\n 	Analyze how we use stories to define our sense of self\n 	Stren
 gthen their ability to support claims with textual evidence\n 	Participate
  in a Socratic seminar exploring the connections between texts and ideas\n
  	Draft and refine a short essay with guided feedback\n
