We're finishing Flowers for Algernon this week, and my seventh graders will begin working on projects that explore this book's themes. Two weeks ago, we had a metaphor about knowledge, then a metaphor about ignorance, then a metaphor about confusion. I am hoping these three metaphors help my seventh graders arrive at some interesting discussion points that will lead to some discoveries of interesting themes about Charley Gordon.
Anyway....on her birthday...my seventh grader--Wonje--had her metaphor chosen as the "Mr. Stick Metaphor of the Week" last Friday. I finally had a chance to post it today. Enjoy!
Good work (as usual), Wonje!
