I want to add more diverse literature into the selection of novels available in our school. These AP seniors have been primarily exposed literature by white, male authors. They need exposure to diverse literature to not only prepare them to answer questions on the AP exam but also to get them talking about diverse perspectives. Because the students live about 15 minutes from Cincinnati, their interest level will be heightened while reading Beloved. I plan to add in nonfiction pieces to this unit that will place students into the shoes of the real life Margaret Garner, who had to murder one of her children rather than allow the child to return to slavery. Students will place that mother on trial as well in our classroom. I believe this unit will open up these students' eyes to the type of empathy they'll need to express to improve our society. The other AP teacher and I plan to share this class set of Beloved novels, so once my class has finished the novel, his class can read it and work through our unit. We are very excited to offer this type of diversity into our curriculum, and we believe students will make excellent connections about the human experience upon reading Beloved.
