Middle School Family Literacy Initiative: Courage Collection

People often think courage involves acts of epic proportions, the stuff of life and death decisions in a matter of nanoseconds. But courage is on display in smaller, more personal acts every day. These activities allow students to consider all kinds of courage. This activity packet includes resources for educators, families, and students, and the books listed here all relate to the theme of courage.
