Juniors and Seniors write about Courage

The Juniors and Seniors were given the following assignment today. We went over the questions so they should have a clear understanding of what I'm asking for. It is due on Thursday and will be considered an assessment (test).

Little Rock Nine Writing Assignment

Think about a person in the Little Rock 9 story whom you would most like or least like to be. Why would you like/not like to be this person?

What do you think were the most important influences on this person?

What do you think were the greatest challenges this person faced?

Describe situations of inequality you have witnessed at school. These can be based on race, gender, income level, or perceived intellectual level.

What is your definition of courage?

How did the Little Rock Nine show courage?

Write about a time when you have shown courage.

Write about a family member, relative, or some one you know who has shown courage and describe their courageous act.
