Learning About Poverty
The judges look for writing that primarily shows a developing awareness of poverty and homelessness. Overly simplistic writing, where an easy solution is found, gives away a lack of understanding of these issues.
While it is understood that young students are still developing in their understanding of these complex issues, teachers can actively and sensitively guide students to raise their awareness of poverty and homelessness. Age-appropriate reading, research and discussion can be used to explore these issues before and throughout the writing process.
