An Aquatic World of Wonders
After reading essays from Aimee Nezhukumatahil’s collection, World of Wonders, students from Dr. Davis’s 11th grade English class and Ms. Umansky’s 10th grade English classes traveled to Coney Island to visit the New York Aquarium. World of Wonders encourages readers to connect their own experiences to the beauty in the natural world. Students examined the animals on display and wrote responses as part of a personal essay writing unit. Before returning to school, students and chaperones enjoyed lunch at Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs!
