9th Graders Start High School Exploring Identity
Ninth graders at Hoover, Mira Mesa, Morse, and Mission Bay are getting to know more about themselves at the same time as they learn new literacy skills. Many 9th graders at these schools spent the first three weeks of school exploring the meaning of their name, the different facets of their personality, the way they work in groups, and the events in their lives that have shaped who they are. After studying Chimamanda Ngochi Adichie’s TEDTalk, “The Danger of a Single Story,” they learned about different ways to tell a balanced story about who they are. Soon they’ll be exhibiting their hard to work their peers in other classes. Impressive start 9th graders!
