As part of the second grade writing curriculum, Ms.
Padgen’s class completed a non-fiction writing unit focused on writing
biographies about the Mitchell Staff. This project, led by Ms.
Sala, a U-M teaching intern, gave students an opportunity to practice
these skills by developing interview questions, conducting and recording
interviews, and returning to the recorded interviews to gather information for
writing.
