The English classroom was transformed into Tompkins Square Park for the story, Amigo Brothers by Piri Thomas. Students learned about the different vocabulary for boxing. When reading the story, two students in each class acted out as Antonio or Felix for the match part of the story. On Friday, students took a walking field trip to the Woonsocket Boys and Girls Club to see a real boxing ring at the Woonsocket Boxing Club. Mr. Providence talked to the students about the game of boxing and how he became a professional boxer. A few students were able to try out their boxing skills on the practice bags. Students finished the unit with an analysis of how point of view could have a major effect on how the story was told.
