Taking 9th graders through a poetry unit can often times be a difficult task as they struggle to understand the technique and the artistry of work written decades before they were even born. Elizabeth Acevedo's trailblazing novel written in a variety of poetry structures allows students to access the more difficult concepts of poetry reading and writing because many of them see themselves in this text! Students will read and listen to the author herself reading many of the chapters in the book so that they are also exposed to the art of slam poetry. The unit will consist of Socratic seminar discussions, group annotation, group projects and finally a writing of their own poetry collection to showcase for their peers.
