Fifth graders at Shorewood write their own autobiographies as they complete their elementary school years.
One book, "Turning Fifteen on the Road to Freedom: My Story of the 1965 Selma Voting Rights March," by Linda Blackmon Lowery, gives a child's-eye view of a turning point of the Civil Rights Movement. I hope that students will reflect on things that have changed and things that have not changed since that time.
Students will read the autobiographies and memoirs I'm requesting to hone their authorial voices for their own autobiographies, which they spend the last quarter of the school year writing. The books on this list are at a variety of levels and will offer complex ideas and concepts for students to consider.
