Additional Materials

While I included multiple texts and assignments within my Year Long Plan,  I still have some ideas and additional materials that I would have liked to incorporate if time had allowed. 

Texts:
-The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
-The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
-The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros
-Hidden Girl by Shyima Hall

Activities and Lessons
-How language is shaped by culture
        -Idioms activity: Incorporates untypical idioms to challenge the way we speak and view the world
        -Spanish, French, and Italian Translation activity: allows students to see what tones and expressions get lost in translation

Culminating Texts
-Journey Video: Multi-modal project that creates a video of our journey as an entire class.
