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.
We are excited to present these biographies as a part
of the Mitchell School website so everyone could learn more about the
great people we have at Mitchell. This means our non-fiction writing
has a real audience and student work is connected
to a real-world purpose! We hope you enjoy learning about
the Mitchell staff.
