Seventh grade ELL students at Lewiston Middle School recently wrapped up a Side x Side program integrating a literacy unit based on the book “A Long Walk to Water” by Linda Sue Park with mixed media bookmaking. Led by teaching artist Jill Osgood, students learned how to use watercolors with crayon resist and collage to depict a favorite scene from the book. The program culminated with a Celebration of Learning that included a performance by Side x Side teaching artist and award-winning, multilingual storyteller Antonio Rocha as well as a sharing of the students’ handmade books.
