Real world meets the literary world! While studying the text "The Call of the Wild", Advanced 8th Grade ELA students played their own version of Survivor. After learning that a local restaurant owner had competed on Season 14 of the show, students took the initiative to write letters inviting him to speak to the class and he graciously accepted.
On Wednesday, the class had the unique opportunity to welcome Mookie Lee, who shared insights from his experience on Survivor and reflected on the life lessons he has carried forward, including those that guided him in opening his restaurant, Senso. Students engaged in a thoughtful Q&A session, asking questions about his entrepreneurial journey, career path, and time on the show, making for an authentic and memorable learning experience!
