This is the first thing I talk about early in the school year. This is typically introduced prior to starting a unit on Night by Elie Wiesel, but it can be for any books that talk about social injustices, racism, segregation, etc. I review this for The Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad and after THOD, I teach Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. You are more than welcome to adjust the lesson according to you and your class’ needs. Questions? Send it via comments. Good thoughts and good luck with this lesson π
