Students then take what the book illustrates and devise ways that they can apply in their daily lives to help reduce their negative impact and promote a positive impact.\r\nDue to your generosity, you are helping promote an engaging lesson that activates core memories as well as promotes literacy and growth of the student as a whole person.
