Students will be required to write a narrative essay in book form based on literacy techniques applied by the author of "Home of the Brave". "Home of the Brave" is considered a mentor text where the protagonist Kek, experiences family loss and is relocated to a vastly different country America. He must try to make it become his new home. Many of my students will be able to relate to this book because many are immigrants themselves or have experienced family loss and are constantly relocating to one home (foster) or shelter to the next. Like Kek, my students will be able to connect with the protagonists search for warm, loving friendships and stability. My goal is that my students can reflect by writing a narrative piece based on certain themes "Home Of The Brave" explores.
