Help me give my students a class set of the novel, A Separate Peace, so we can analyze character and student behavior in the context of defense mechanisms.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Sondag's classroom raised $564

My Students
This year I get to work with juniors and seniors at our high school who are enthusiastic about being back in school on a regular basis after a year of navigating a hybrid schedule due to the pandemic.
We are working on sustained reading, reading to understand, and a variety of writing styles!
My Project
We will practice our sustained reading skills and also work on literary analysis writing in response to the novel, A Separate Peace.
Having a class set of the novel, A Separate Peace, will provide a great opportunity to analyze character analysis, especially when we take the psychological approach to understand how characters use a variety of defense mechanisms when responding to various challenges and life circumstances.
Ultimately we will also analyze our own use of some of these defense mechanisms, giving us greater insight into our own past choices, behaviors, and also goals for our future, as we have certainly been navigating some challenges over the last year and a half due to the pandemic!
More than half of students from low‑income households
