Last week, students began to apply their new
learning about human rights through a case study of how a fictional character
responds to human rights challenges with a study of the novel Esperanza
Rising by Pam Muñoz Ryan. Students also read informational texts
related to the story’s historical context.
Almost daily, students will write short informational pieces in their reading journals, in which they record their interpretations of concrete details and quotations from the book as well as annotate their own books. This week, students will analyze characters’ responses to challenges and will analyze how Esperanza changes over time. Students will be expected to do a "first-draft" read of a new chapter every night and be prepared to discuss the following day.
