I have to do a research project about a social problem in teenagers… should i choose?
Our topic idea is due tomorrow and I thought I should do Self Harm [ie cutting, burning, etc] but I’m finding it hard to come across encyclopedia articles or non fiction books. I’m thinking I should change my topic.

-homeless
-prison overcrowding
-book banning
- Other
It has to be school appropriate and deal with teenagers. Any other ideas? Should I stick with Self Harm?
After the research project we have to write a narrative using what we researched and I had this idea to…

Okay. So I’m student teaching this semester. Next week, i get to start a literacy reading group with an slightly advanced group of children. We will be reading Number the Stars, by Lois Lowry over the next couple weeks. I need ideas for projects i could assign them after. I need at least two or three good ones–using different types of Multiple Intelligences. I think, for writing, i will have them write a letter as one of the characters. Any idea otherwise?
Thanks!

The poem can
- paint word pictures
-appeal to the senses
-reveal their feelings
-arouse our emotions
-describe people
-describe the world of nature
or
-try to change our attitudes
Please reply but not with poems too hard to understand!
And also not too long as i have to do an oral presentation on it with an analysis.
