Claiming your story through the written word
In this culminating lesson, students read texts about young people who use writing as a tool for self-discovery and empowerment. Through an excerpt about a Dominican-American girl who finds freedom in poetry and a passage about a young Black writer discovering the power of journaling, students prepare to write their own identity narratives.
