The books requested will be used to facilitate book clubs in my College Prep 9th Grade Foundations of Literacy class. Students will work in collaborative groups to sample and then select one of these novels to read alongside Elie Wiesel's Night. Since each of these novels explore different ways in which injustices have historically occurred, or how they may/can occur, students will be asked to synthesize what stories of injustice can teach readers about one of the following thematic concepts: community, hope, and dehumanization. Each day, we will use Night as a mentor text to discover how these themes emerge; each day, students will also work in their groups to complete reading contracts on their selected book, engaging choice activities, and synthesis activities that connect their selected novel to Night. At the end of the unit, students will write a collaborative essay using textual evidence from both texts on what individuals can learn from reading various stories of injustice.
