Proud Persistence

Students read a passage about Marcus overcoming nervousness and learning resilience during a class presentation. They then answer questions about the lesson he learned and how this lesson could apply in their own home, school, and friendships. Students must give concrete examples and explain how the text connects to their own experiences. This encourages self-reflection, comprehension of character growth, and application of social-emotional concepts in daily life.
