As students struggle to regain a sense of security amidst the Covid pandemic, I am motivated to provide engaging, hopeful, practical lessons that students will recognize as meaningful and important. The books I've chosen are high-interest texts proven to be engaging to students, and all of them have specific social-emotional components: The Book Thief deals with death on a tragic scale, as the pandemic has; Dreamland Burning explores racial tensions and healing, as we’ve experienced (particularly in Tulsa) during the pandemic; Animal Farm explores through high-interest allegory and satire government response to crisis; and The Hunger Games gives teens discouraged from the pandemic a dystopian world that they can contrast to their experiences. Art supplies foster creative responses to the critical thinking students have done through the texts.
