SUMMARY:Building a Better Society: Story-Driven Dialogue for ages 10-13
DESCRIPTION:In a world that is often unjust\, how do we work up the courage
  to fight for what we believe is right?\n\nIn this four-day literature cou
 rse\, students explore their values and beliefs about what it takes to bui
 ld a "better" society through two short stories and one poem: "The Scholar
 ship Jacket" by Maria Salinas\, "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut\, and
  "The Hill We Climb" by Amanda Gorman (poem). Each day’s 1‑hour sessio
 n invites students to read closely\, discuss deeply\, and write thoughtful
 ly using two core tools: a 6‑question reading framework (analyzing the n
 arrator\, characterization\, setting\, plot\, message\, and theme) and 4 w
 riting moves (summary\, claim\, evidence\, analysis).\n\nBy the end of the
  week\, students will:\n\n 	Analyze how we resist injustice in society\n 	
 Strengthen their ability to support claims with textual evidence\n 	Partic
 ipate in a Socratic seminar exploring the connections between texts and id
 eas\n 	Draft and refine a short essay with guided feedback\n
