Representation of Latinx, API, Indigenous authors is limited
Even units with relevant themes often lack a racial justice lens
Emphasis on nonfiction leaves little room for fiction, poetry, etc.

Where's the poetry? Needs more Latine and Asian authors.

Culminating task of one unit is a group assignment. I worry about giving a group assignment that much of a student's grade. Telling stories unit will need a lot of scaffolds and front loading. The only Latine author is Lin-Miranda relaying US history. Little to no poetry. Little to no fiction. Dense units with very little levity. The Hamilton unit should be more critical of race and representation.

Exciting to see "The Case for Reparations" included in the Homeownership unit. It's paired with some classics from voices such as Langston Hughes, Lorraine Hansberry, and MLK.

Wish there were more authors of color in general. Of the authors of color that are included, most are Black. A smaller number at Latinx. I saw no evidence of texts authored by API folks in this review.

Many of the units in the 11th grade course would pair well with an 11th grade U.S. History course - allowing students to make connections across English, History, and their experiences.

The unit question is "What does it mean to be an American?" but the central texts are primarily authored by white people. They don't directly address the impact of slavery or indigenous genocide, though they do explore issues of immigration (but not through insider perspectives).

Ending each course with a student-driven research unit leaves space for students to explore topics of personal importance.

The "Who Changes The World?" Unit Explores what is a change agent., etc. This might encourage students to see self as change agent
