    they will use technology and look up their name on https://www.names.org/ and write
    down the meaning that they like the best.
    2. Students will then take that answer and write a one paragraph essay on what their
    name means to them, if they like it or not and why they do or do not like their name.

    Evaluation: The teacher will then pull each name out of the jar for sharing time about each
    students name and what they found so that the teacher can access each student.
