In this lesson, students will prepare for Part II of their end of unit assessment by gathering evidence related to the central theme, “making a difference,” in The Hope Chest, Chapter 17. They will then have a discussion about how Violet’s actions throughout the novel contribute to this theme.
To prepare for Part I of the End of Unit assessment in Lesson 17, students will read chapter 18 for homework. They will use evidence flags to mark evidence of the central theme, but they will not complete a Reader’s Guide for this chapter.
