Every year my students and I read novels and non-fiction books together. We have discussions around the narrative structure and plot of a story: exposition, rising actions, climax, falling actions. We examine characters and make connections, and we share our perspectives and speculate on the characters' point of view. I would like to continue this form of teaching and student learning during the 2020-2021 school year of blended learning (remote and traditional school setting). My students do not have their own books. I would love to give each of my students a copy of Ghost Boys by Jewell Parker Rhodes. My plan is to use this text to start the instruction on The Narrative Structure. Students will read along during our Zoom meetings, at home for independent reading, and have discussions in a small class setting. My students will love to have their own book to read. I also hope this will encourage them to want to read more.
