How do i find my voice in a global conversation?

As an adolescent, it can be intimidating to speak up and join conversations about the world at large. In this unit, students will explore a variety of global issues and look for the connections that link their lives to the lives of others. Students will begin the process of building their necessary skills to be thoughtful discussion participants and recognize the time for voicing their opinions and listening to others.

This unit includes:

  • A book list for a wide variety of possible books that align with the question

  • 2 evidence trackers

  • Pacing calendar for whole-class novel/text

  • Pacing calendar for lit circles / choice novels

  • 5 Supplemental text lessons

  • Summative Assessment Template

  • 4 Learning Strategy Templates

This is an exciting addition to a lineup to over 10 other EQ Packs. This is one of the questions in that lineup that would work really well for a nonfiction text (think: memoir) or even to anchor a research paper writing unit.

 
 

HOW DOES HISTORY GET BURIED AND WHY SHOULD IT BE UNCOVERED?

While much of world history has been documented, there are thousands of missing voices and stories that have been left behind.

Students will begin the process of building their necessary skills to be analytical writers and readers as well as broadening their cultural and world background knowledge as they embark on adulthood.

This unit includes:

  • A book list for a wide variety of possible books that align with the question

  • 2 evidence trackers

  • Pacing calendar for whole-class novel/text

  • Pacing calendar for lit circles / choice novels

  • 5 Supplemental text lessons

  • Summative Assessment Template

  • 4 Learning Strategy Templates

This is an exciting addition to a lineup to over 10 other EQ Packs. This is one of the questions in that lineup that would work really well for a historical fiction text (think: Ruta Sepetys lit circle!).
