About This Lesson
Coming-of-age literature can serve as an engaging and empathy-building opportunity for a whole-school read. This guide will help you design and implement a whole-school read that centers students’ voices and experiences.
The questions and activities in this guide invite critical thinking and conversation around issues of identity, belonging, choices, and justice. Exploring these ideas through a coming-of age lens invites readers to consider how these concepts play out in other adolescents’ lives as well as in their own.
This text set is part of the Coming of Age in a Complex World ELA collection.
