The text, "This Book Is Anti-Racist: 20 Lessons on How to Wake Up, Take Action, and Do The Work" by Tiffany Jewell is an important addition to our 9th grade Humanities (integrated language arts and social studies curriculum). This text connects perfectly with our themes from the year - starting with our focus on our stories, our identities, and our own hero's journeys, moving towards deconstructing stories we've been told that are incomplete, misrepresentative, or false, help us un-learn and re-frame. From there, this text supports our final unit focused on advocacy and activism. This is a book that students will read, reflect on, discuss, and write about all year and will help us as a community work towards creating a more antiracist community, city, and world.
Our students deserve a text of their own to interact with and write in especially throughout distance-learning.
