MYP1 has read, and is now analyzing, the novel  "Schooled" by Gordon Korman who is The New York Times best-selling author. The protagonist of the novel is a boy who was homeschooled by his grandmother, but ends up at a local school when she needs to go to the hospital. He gets bullied, but does not get upset because he practices tai chi on a regular basis. 

In order for students to understand more about tai chi, they watched a video on how it is done, and then tried one of the forms from the beginning to the end. They laughed and enjoyed it, but also learned that this could be one of the ways how to cope with stress.
