Out of the Margins is a project inspired and driven by our students. Year after year, as students read. Esperanza Rising, and learn about human rights, they listen to stories of people who had to struggle to be seen in this world. Old Sturbridge Academy is on the site of a living history museum.
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.
