Zach, your students are very lucky to have someone like you for a teacher. I was head of an elementary school, but I also taught a literacy course to all the fourth grade classes. One of the writing assignments we worked on was letter writing. I had already taught them about the five parts of Story Structure, and this became a hand tool to fall back on when we got to letter writing.
I love Ta-Nehisi Coates' " Between the World and Me." It's a splendid book and a great tool for students your age.

I meant, students your teaching. LOL.
Ha! Yes, I got that.
