    1. Read: Read as a class, Where are you from? By: Yamile Saied Mendez
    • Listen to the audio

    2. Discuss: Using the Think/Pair/Share Method, students will be divided into


    groups of 2. The first student will ask the second student two of the questions
    written on the board. Then the second student will ask the first student another
    two questions written on the board (must be different questions), students will
    have 10 minutes to answer each other's questions. After the time is up, each
    group of 2 will share their partner's answer, and the second partner will do the
    same.
    Questions:
    1) How does this story make you feel?
    2) Why do you think abuelo didn’t tell her where she is from?
    3) Where are you from?
    4) Can you think of ways that make us who we are?
    5) Does this book remind you of anything?

    3. Activities:
    • Drawing: Each student will have 10 minutes to draw a drawing figure, symbols,
    stick figures, anything they’ll like that represents who they are. I will give an
    example of this by drawing some objects that define who I am.
    • Think/Pair/Share: For the think/pair/share activity, I will split the class into
    groups of 2. Both students will discuss with one another for 5 minutes about
    their drawing and what it means.
    • Fishbowl Discussion: For fishbowl discussion, I will have students in groups of
    4 in a circle. Each student will go around telling one interesting fact about
    themselves. The other four students will listen and share, but the class will be
    attending as well. This discussion will be repeated until all groups participate.

    Assessment: The teacher will review the student's work on their interpretation of
    the meaning of “Where are you from?” and their participation during the lesson.
