Together, we are reading the book, Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls. The book follows the main character Billy through adventure, hardship and success. We have discussions about the virtuous qualities that Billy displays and how his personal moral standards set him up for success. These past couple chapters, Billy was very courageous and brave while navigating an unknown place. At the end of every class, we add leaves to what started as a barren tree. Students reflect on our reading and discussions, then write down two virtues they feel have helped Billy succeed at that point in the book.
