Description
In this lesson, students continue to read and analyze The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, focusing on how Skloot provides a narrative account of Henrietta’s deteriorating health. In small groups, students explore the care Henrietta receives from the Johns Hopkins medical staff through analysis of Skloot’s specific word choice and purposeful use of language. Additionally, students begin the research process by learning how to surface issues and pose inquiry questions using a Surfacing Issues Tool and Posing Inquiry Questions Handout.
