During a read-aloud of "The People Could Fly" by Virginia Hamilton, my students examined symbolism and imagery in American Black folktales. It never ceases to amaze me how deeply my students think and are able to reason beyond the obvious. We will endeavor to exercise our higher order thinking skills (HOTS) to preserve our beautiful minds. We have the "HOTS" for words! A few students shared insightfully. In the end, Angel punctuated our analysis with a very poignant message that encapsulated his classmates' sentiments in a remarkable way. He took my breath away!
