For my project, I would like a class set of the novel The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver for my English Language Learner inclusion class. The Bean Trees is a story about putting down roots when one has left or has been forced to flee home, "about love and friendship, abandonment and belonging, and the discovery of surprising resources in apparently empty places." These themes will be particularly relatable to my students who are from different countries and are important topics to discuss before leaving high school . Thank you for the opportunity to participate in these important conversations with my students.
