My Project

Students will each receive their own copy of the beautifully illustrated and designed book "This Is How I Do It" to describe themselves, their families, and their lives as they also learn about 59 young people from around the world. In addition, in the other books included here, students will read about what home looks like in other countries.

Students will be sharing the details of their life in the United States and their home country in their own personal copy of this beautifully illustrated book "This Is How I Do It."

As student reflect on and describe their own lives, they will be reading and reflecting on the life of Parvana, the young girl in Afghanistan who is the brave and inspiring main character of the book the Breadwinner. We will finish by reading other stories of inspiring young people from around the world.
