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.

Topics and themes encourage interdisciplinary connections, explorations of texts across media]]> 2022-03-17 23:51:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jeannebruland/k2rymx9qijg1xfpc/wish/2100933561 https://padlet.com/jeannebruland/k2rymx9qijg1xfpc/wish/2100938645 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.
