  • It was great to see you all today for about 10 minutes--sorry we didn't get to color in class! You'll have to do that over the weekend. The instructions are below. Have fun coloring, and remember that this will be an important foundation for us to talk about your experience of "coming-of-age." Make sure you create a map of some sort--don't just draw your house! Label things, like "the tree I fell out of when I was 9" and  "my babysitter's house." If you grew up in two neighborhoods, draw both. Or pick one. If you have questions or concerns, shoot me an email.
