So far in this unit, we have covered the novel "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe which is a novel about a character from Nigeria named Okonkwo, set during the late 1800’s.

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: We should all be feminists

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
We teach girls that they can have ambition, but not too much ... to be successful, but not too successful, or they'll threaten men, says author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. In this classic talk that started a worldwide conversation about feminism, Adichie asks that we begin to dream about and plan for a different, fairer world -- of happier men and women who are truer to themselves.

Take up the White Man’s burden—

Send forth the best ye breed—

Go send your sons to exile

To serve your captives' need

To wait in heavy harness

On fluttered folk and wild—

Your new-caught, sullen peoples,

Half devil and half child

Take up the White Man’s burden

In patience to abide

To veil the threat of terror

And check the show of pride;

By open speech and simple

An hundred times made plain

To seek another’s profit

And work another’s gain

Take up the White Man’s burden—

And reap his old reward:

The blame of those ye better

The hate of those ye guard—

The cry of hosts ye humour

(Ah slowly) to the light:

"Why brought ye us from bondage,

“Our loved Egyptian night?”

Take up the White Man’s burden-

Have done with childish days-

The lightly proffered laurel,

The easy, ungrudged praise.

Comes now, to search your manhood

Through all the thankless years,

Cold-edged with dear-bought wisdom,

The judgment of your peers!

I believe that skills that we have covered during this unit were our observation and analysis skills that we used on the text’s that we have read. The tasks that we have completed included many quizizz games that would help review our knowledge on the book. Additionally, we also often paired up and completed a microlab or text analysis in PEE form in preparation to our Socratic Seminar.
