Understanding and Developing Student Assessment Literacy by Min Yang

Understanding and Developing Student Assessment Literacy by Min Yang

Sometimes the decision of who comforts and who needs to be consoled, is simply a matter of who speaks and who is silent in the matter. It has been three and a half years and James is still grieving the death of his father. meanwhile he's trying to keep a sense of normalcy to cope with the reality around him. Although some things are better than reality. Dawson is the stereotypical Pastor's daughter. Extreme in her faith, good student, and now a rising star athlete, but when she is tested in ways she'd never imagine, she finds out how strong she is as it shakes the foundation of life as she knows it. Miranda lives with the daily conflict of her long distance relationship that is seeming to become futile to maintain. Love alone won't take care of the loneliness that comes along with the ten thousand miles distance that separates them. Maddux just wants an identity that he can call his own, whether that comes through finding his own, or accepting one that is given to him.James, Dawson, Miranda, and Maddux all enter their senior year at Coastal County High School. Each have their own struggle. Each living within the confines of their own world. But what happens when those worlds begin to intertwine will change them forever. Ultimately leading every one of them to ask themselves Are my problems bigger than yours? Are my problems possibly mine to bare alone? Or are they possible to bare at all.
