Summer Bundle: Literacy for Social Justice

Two engaging Summer literacy activities for your students!

• Just Mercy Interactive Notebook: Ask students to view Just Mercy over the break (or show it in the last weeks of school) and have them complete this interactive notebook building background knowledge and making thematic connections.
• Yummy The Last Days of a Southside Shorty Assessment Pack: Yummy is an engaging, quick read! Read the book with students in the last days of school, or assign it for Summer reading. Have students complete one, all, or their choice of the assessments provided. One is a more creative poetry activity, one questions to prepare for a socratic seminar (a great way to bring students back from summer break), and the last one is a longer multi-genre argumentative piece.
