Lisa Byrd's collections

 

I've Fallen, and I Can't Get Up

<p>This collection deals with individuals who were ordinary, rose to greatness, and then his/her life was reduced to less than ordinary. This collection will be used with the focus novel, <em>Flowers for Algernon</em>, as well as short stories, poems, and non fiction texts. The initial theme of the unit is FEAR and how we deal with it. These individuals were without fear or possessed the ability to mute that fear even though it cost all of them in the end.  This unit will be used to compare the character arc of Charley from the book to their choice of artwork and the subject's journey. <em>This collection was created in conjunction with the National Portrait Gallery's 2018 Learning to Look Summer Teacher Institute. </em>#NPGteach</p>
