Digging Deeper into Perspectives through Literature


Description

In this unit, students read the play Divided Loyalties, by Gare Thompson, to dig deeper into the perspectives of Patriots and Loyalists. Students read about the Barton family and analyze how various members of the family react to the events of the looming American Revolution. Throughout the unit, they practice reading aloud to build fluency skills. At key points in the play, students pause to do a close read of select lines from the Declaration of Independence and analyze these lines to determine their meaning.
