What is a border to you? In this collection, inspired by Luis J. Rodriguez's Always Running, the tenth-grade students of Galileo High School in San Francisco set out to answer this question for themselves in the form of personal narratives, fictional short stories, letters, and poems. From reflections about physical boundaries that have impacted them, to internal barriers they've been working to overcome, to divisions between people in their communities, these young authors meditate on their own borders-and how to cross them.
Inside this book, you'll also find resources for teachers, including a curriculum guide aligned with current English Language Arts and Literacy standards, plus loads of inspiration for any writer, thinker, or educator.
