In an effort to try and teach students how to understand the layered nature of narrative writing, we focused on a reading about Tina Turner. Watching high school students witness this magnetic performance for the first time literally made my day. Watching students begin to comprehend the ways in which stories can be a reflection of societal issues, life views, and ideas made my week. They went away knowing how to start reading for meaning and they went away with exposure to a timeless song. I feel really good about being a part in knowledge expansion.
