This book is the product of a yearlong senior expedition on high school redesign from the first graduating class of the only dual-language high school in Massachusetts.
The 5th-grade crew at Palouse Prairie Charter School explored the 6th Mass Extinction—the possibility that we are on the verge of having 75% or more of the species on our planet go extinct within a relatively short period of time.
Students engage in Units 1 and 2 of the 4th grade module "Poetry, Poets and Becoming Writers" to unpack what makes a poem a poem and explain what inspires writers to write poetry. Concurrently, students learn about the Wabanaki tribe to understand their daily life and culture.
