There are a lot of pieces to this unit on search for self. Students are asked to respond to literature in discussion and in writing. They are asked to explore the concerns of characters in literature while they explore their own concerns. They are asked to open up to others and to themselves while using history as a model of self-exploration. Students are asked to submit selections to the class journal like freelance writers. It is really a jigsaw puzzle of a unit with journal writing and sharing at its core. If you take your time with your students and explore their interests and concerns, you will find it rewarding as the students come closer to finding their own inner voices in their "search for self."
