Retelling Dunn County Tales
Mr. Dolan’s eighth grade language arts students at Menomonie Middle School completed a unit digging deep into Dunn County history. They used the Dunn County News archives through the Menomonie Public Library and other resources to research a story from the past. The unit focused on literary nonfiction, which retells historical events in a story format. The main text for the unit was Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly. Students retold their chosen historical story from Dunn County's past using literary nonfiction elements.
