“Write. Read. Feel. – Exploring Your Emotions on the Page” is a writing prompt, lesson plan, and publishing opportunity from TIME Magazine’s 2024 Next Generation Leader, literacy ambassador, and beloved librarian, Mychal Threets.
Teach this lesson plan to give your students the chance to become published authors. Submit their writing for a chance to be published in our upcoming book project. Ask your students to write about their feelings, their way. Whether it’s a poem, reflection, or story—you name it. Whatever they choose, we encourage them to bring their full selves to the writing process.
