I Am NOT Black, You are NOT White by Prince Ea [Item of Interest for Geog], modelling a sample for the integrated Health project, Bloom + Humpty, and the Book Talk + assignment, 5 sentence paragraph assignment

The group in Room 52 are also practicing/working on the classic 5 sentence paragraph.  I will be looking at the work they have done, giving them some feedback, and then practicing some more.
