Lies We Tell Ourselves - writing from an adult perspective

A task for student's studying the novel Lies We Tell Ourselves. Students must create a character of a teacher and consider how they would have felt about the process of desegregation in their school. They should consider a number of aspects of their character and then they choose the task they want to complete - this gets them to consider the various conventions of different styles.

I extended this over a whole lesson by including some peer assessment and reading of the text.
