Update Link: You’re Not Sorry – Part 13

Hello! Hope you’re having a great week! I’ve been having so much fun this week working on creative projects — I’m building a six-day lesson plan for my French III kiddos to compare Native American Boarding Schools and the children of La Réunion island who were forcibly taken from their homes and “given” to rural families in France from the 1960s to the 1980s. They’re going to do a Socratic Seminar, and I’ve been writing their prep material. It’s the first year that I have French language students far enough along that we can tackle more challenging topics in French. And if you don’t think writing active viewing guides and discussion questions is fun — well, you’re probably right but I’m still enjoying myself.

Today, though, after I finished writing the first update, I’ve been working on plotting this story out. I know the big movements, but it’s time to get down to the nitty gritty now that the big event has happened. I’m soooo excited about this week and next, and where this story is going. I feel like Dear Reader was a guinea pig to see if I could write this era, and this is gonna be the magnum opus 😛

In other news — Part 48 of Dear Reader is now properly in series order. Sorry about that!
