Write what should not be forgotten.
Isabel Allende
Now, more than ever, we are living history.
While we are practicing social distancing and doing school far apart from each other, it’s natural to feel disconnected. Days run together.
Writing is a powerful way to clarify and refine thinking. It can help us to understand ourselves, each other, and the world around us. For example, Tupac wrote the beautiful and deep poem, “The Rose that Grew From Concrete,” which students read during Week 4 of our COVID-19 distance learning experience.
What insights gained from this unique period might you capture in words and images?
Don’t miss out: publish. Blog.
