๐ Exploring History Through Literature and Culture! ๐
After finishing their class novel The Red Umbrella by Christina Diaz Gonzalez, Ms. Johnson's 7th grade ELA students had the opportunity to immerse themselves in the social and historical context of the story. Set against the backdrop of the Communist Revolution in Cuba, the novel follows two siblings who become part of Project Pedro Pan, a mission to evacuate children from Cuba to America.
As part of their final AVID One Pager project, students explored the physical, historical, and social settings of the book. To enhance their understandingโand to bring a bit of Cuban culture to lifeโthey enjoyed traditional flan, โgusanosโ (gummy worms symbolizing the anti-revolutionary term), and yuca flour avocado chips. This hands-on experience allowed them to connect more deeply with the novelโs themes while having some fun with cultural exploration.
We are so proud of our students for diving into literature with curiosity and creativity! #FMSBulldogs
