This semester, our seventh grade students studied strategies for shifting people’s thinking and for disagreeing productively. For the written component of the project, the students crafted narratives aimed at “humanizing” issues they feel strongly about, since storytelling is often more effective than argument alone. This website contains these narratives.
You may use the lists of links on the right to search for a specific student author or for a topic of interest to you. This website is hidden from search engines and is viewable only to those who have the site’s address.
Once you’ve read a narrative, please consider leaving a comment below it so that the author(s) can know the impact of their work. Please keep your comments positive and specific -- for example, something you appreciate about the narrative, or how it has shifted your thinking. No criticism or insults!
We hope you enjoy the writing!
