In my middle school classroom, we explore two essential questions that are linked in stages. The first question, "How do an individual's choices affect their futures?" drives the seventh-grade year; the second question, "How do we measure an individual's success?" drives the eighth-grade year. In both cases, we explore the concepts of goal setting, success, failure, achievement, and the future. My students are typical middle schoolers in that they love their social media and are wrapped up in themselves: I challenge them to think beyond what is directly in front of them and see how their actions not only affect their lives but those around them. Some of the book my students read include: "Monster", "of Beetles and Angels", "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens", "Wonder", "The Pact", "The Juvie Three", "Like Water on Stone", and "Night". I have dreamed about having a set of "The Other Wes Moore" for the past four years but as always, the budget just doesn't allow for it. I believe this story will not only challenge my students, but it will add an entirely new perspective to our essential questions.
