Students in our Advisory classes typically work from the universal anti-violence curriculum, Second Step. However, in our quest to instill a sense of Social Justice, we want our students to actually feel what others feel in order to develop true empathy. This is what the graphic novel, The New Kid provides for our middle schoolers of unenlightened white privilege. Winner of both the Newberry and the Coretta Scott King award, a major strength of this graphic novel is that it is both appealing and accessible to middle school students of all reading abilities. We plan to launch a book study using The New Kid, and align it with our other social justice curriculum topics. Examples of these are Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka, studies about Japanese Internment in the U.S, the Holocaust, and Native American Tribes of the U.S. We will use the book as a “jumping off point” for rich class discussions, compare and contrast activities, applications to students’ own personal struggles, first-person narrative writing, and historical research.
