My Project

With the book Just Mercy, our student will have the opportunity to improve their reading, writing, analysis skills. Our scholars will be able to form an argument for their research unit.

Our students are inquisitive and are interested in equitable access to learning experiences.

This book will help them to make text to world connections as they look into future careers.

Additionally, this book is a tool that will help them learn how to navigate through student led learning and take ownership of their education. This book helps to build empathy on the topic on how showing mercy can redeem us.
