Handbook for Boys

by Walter Dean Myers


Description
What resources are in my community to assist me through the challenges in my life? How can I bring these resources into my classroom? What role do my elders play in my development? How do my peers influence me? What lessons can my neighborhood teach me? Through reading strategies, team building activities, community mapping, and interviewing we will explore these questions and more.
