Project Lit and Florida Teen Reads are two programs that encourage students to read high-quality, diverse novels. Some themes that are covered in the novels include race, identity discovery, life challenges, family, other societal issues our teens experience in their daily lives.
Using this specific novel will allow students to have difficult discussions of the evolution of racism; challenging the norm in a safe environment. Using where we are in the current climate and discussing how we got there can provide eye-opening experiences for our teen readers. Whether it is from the past or present, approaching these sensitive topics and themes are imperative to the growth of society.
As the school Media Specialist, I run monthly book club for our students where we tackle these real world topics. Thank you for considering my project!
