posted message: My students and I began our trimester of March 18. Our theme is around justice, and the Letters to the Next Mayor of New York City project is the perfect segue into reading the memoirs "They Poured Fire on Us From the Sky" and "Desert Flower", as they will begin with the issue of justice domestically and look at injustice internationally.
I asked my students to research the mayoral candidates, take notes, create campaign posters, and choose one candidate to whom they would write about an injustice in New York City that they would want the candidate to address. I hope that they will finish their letters by Monday, April 8 so that they can post them in Youth Voices!
