a. Determine a theme of a text and analyze in detail its development over
the course of the text, including how it emerges and is shaped and
refined by specific details.
b. Provide an objective summary of the text that includes the theme and
relevant story elements.
RL.9-10.6 Analyze how a point of view, perspective, or cultural experience is
reflected in a work of literature from outside the United States, drawing on a
wide reading of world literature.]]> 2022-09-13 14:36:05 UTC https://padlet.com/winiewng/pa2keqw2sx8hm3zm/wish/2294438565 winiewng https://padlet.com/winiewng/pa2keqw2sx8hm3zm/wish/2294439744 3. How do canonical texts and the race and gender representation within them relate to the state of race and gender in today's society?]]> 2022-09-13 14:36:38 UTC https://padlet.com/winiewng/pa2keqw2sx8hm3zm/wish/2294439744 winiewng https://padlet.com/winiewng/pa2keqw2sx8hm3zm/wish/2294440707 2.

How do race and gender/racism and sexism manifest in the canonical ELA curriculum?]]> 2022-09-13 14:37:23 UTC https://padlet.com/winiewng/pa2keqw2sx8hm3zm/wish/2294441369 winiewng https://padlet.com/winiewng/pa2keqw2sx8hm3zm/wish/2294841388 This stack would be perfect to offer students while teaching Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird since it is still part of the required ELA curriculum at most high schools. It would broaden student's perspectives on the race and gender roles and relations in the novel and connect it to present day society as well. It delves deeper into the issues presented in the novel as well as exploring some more problematic aspects of the novel as well. This unit could then springboard into a unit specifically about LTSs and allow the students to built their own stacks surrounding another novel.]]> 2022-09-13 17:39:26 UTC https://padlet.com/winiewng/pa2keqw2sx8hm3zm/wish/2294841388 winiewng https://padlet.com/winiewng/pa2keqw2sx8hm3zm/wish/2294842935 My stack focuses primarily on racism in TKAM as well as how similar issues still exist today, but I could have included more texts about the gender aspect involved in the novel as well. There is always possibility for more perspectives and texts to add more and more to the learning experience. I tried to be very inclusive of voices with my stack especially when it comes to race and racism, but there could always be more!]]> 2022-09-13 17:40:20 UTC https://padlet.com/winiewng/pa2keqw2sx8hm3zm/wish/2294842935 winiewng https://padlet.com/winiewng/pa2keqw2sx8hm3zm/wish/2294853758 My stack offers perspectives and views of black people in America to contrast and compare with Tom in TKAM. This stack should help students both understand Tom's position while also recognizing certain racist stereotypes present in Lee's novel. It should also help students develop critical consciousness by making parallels between the book and today's society in terms of race and racism as well as sexism and gender stereotyping. ]]> 2022-09-13 17:47:02 UTC https://padlet.com/winiewng/pa2keqw2sx8hm3zm/wish/2294853758
