I teach a 12th grade expository English class and an 11th grade class titled Designing the American Dream. In my 12th grade course one of our foundational units is Juvenile Justice. Students explore how the justice system deals with children, teens, and adults. In my 11th grade class we look at how the American Dream has evolved and who has access to the dream and the obstacles in the way for others. Both classes look at the idea of justice and if it’s served. Using a first person account is more powerful than an article or one speech. We also watch Bryan Stevenson’s TED Talk so this book would be a great addition.
