Cultural Diversity Unit Grade 8

It is interesting to see how people all over the earth solve their problems and work through the issues of their daily lives. Can we identify with them and learn anything from others who might have problems similar to the ones we have? Unit 5 in English class poses the question, "What can we learn by studying the mistakes and successes of others?" Quite a bit I hope. Students are reading in literature circles with a small group of peers who also chose the same book to read out of the five selections offered. Each book takes place on a different continent so there will be a global perspective. See a picture of the novel choices below. Pick up one and read today!
