Literature Circle: Rights of Passage

Our class has just completed the book Homeless Bird, a poignant story of a young woman's "growing up" experience in India. We will be working on projects for the next two weeks or so. Projects range from building a class shrine, to cooking and eating Indian foods introduced in the book. The class worked together to sew a Sari and we are identifying and translated over 40 Hindi words from the book. Please remember to ask your students about these projects. Next book to be introduced soon.
