Description

Encouraging Activism in Secondary English: Reading and Writing for Social Justice provides a framework to encourage social justice teaching in the secondary English classroom by providing teachers with questions to consider as they plan their curriculum. The framework is applied to commonly taught texts and suggests texts that could be paired with those anchor texts as well as related social movements and writing or composing activities that would encourage students to take action in issues that matter to them.
