My students will be reading the book Monster by Walter Dean Meyers and my students will be reading the book The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates by Wes Moore. We will be using these books as our extended texts for two different units respectively following the themes of "Seeking Justice" and "Survival." Within each thematic unit, we will also be reading some other shorter texts such as Martin Luther King, Jr.'s “I Have a Dream” speech, Ray Bradbury's “The Drummer Boy of Shiloh,” Lincoln's “Gettysburg Address,” and Robert Frost's "Nothing Gold Can Stay" just to name a few. Throughout the reading, we will be answering questions such as "How has the act of seeking justice or taking a stand influenced the history of our nation" and "How is the theme of survival represented throughout various genres?" In addition to reading the texts and answering these questions, we will be learning about a variety of literary concepts such as irony, theme, author's point of view, characterization, and many more. We will be finishing off each unit with an essay and a research project. My students will benefit from these units by applying the skills they've learned to other books they have read (and will read) and by applying these skills to real life situations. In my classes, we strive to be ready for college, ready for work, and ready for life, and through these units, we certainly will be ready!
