This year, in English 10, we'll be exploring the themes of nature, environmental degradation, and social justice. Wangari Maathai's memoir, UNBOWED, beautifully connects all three themes, along with a book that we read and loved last year, also set in Kenya. TWELVE YEARS A SLAVE provides a fitting complement to required readings of privileged white men voluntarily setting out for adventures in the wild (the book also explores a critical aspect of U.S. history). While the focus this year will be on non-fiction, there's nothing like a popular, entertaining work of fiction to get students reading. THE HUNGER GAMES--yes, that book--thematically links to issues of food, social justice, and our connection to the land. Back to the non-fiction: the UPFRONT magazines will provide students with more tangible materials to engage them with both current events and media.
