Exploring Racial Identity in Literature
Funded Dec 21, 2017
We are so thankful for our copies of The Bluest Eye. Students have been devouring the text and we're almost finished!
Each night they read about 20 pages of text. They come to class prepared to share their observations and questions. We've had in depth discussions about racial identity, specifically focusing on how young black girls experience the world. Many students have shared that this novel is their favorite text of the year.
After students finish the novel next week, we'll start developing written analysis. I can't wait to read their work!”
With gratitude,
Mr. Eaton
This classroom project was brought to life by Anonymous Donor and 13 other donors.

By funding this project, you will give students the opportunity to carry individual copies of the text to bring home, read, and analyze. Through Morrison's beautiful prose, students will explore racial identity and American standards of beauty. Students will develop essential reading skills by closely analyzing Morrison's literary choices. Students will develop a deeper understanding of how literature functions as an agent for change in society. They will explore Morrison's views on racial identity and gender. By the end of the unit, students will develop college level discourse and written analysis. They will also share their insights with underclassmen who are reading a similar text.
