Groundwork:
This unit is written for students in eighth Grade Honors English language classes at Brownish Canton Junior High. Each class contains most 25 students and meets for approximately an hour every day. Brown County is a rural community one-half an hour exterior of Bloomington with a population of 15,242 people. Brown Canton is generally considered a rural community, though situated mostly in Nashville, and contains a thriving artisan community. The county is largely homogenous in terms of demographics. At the fourth dimension of the last census, 96.7% of the population identified as caucasian, while i.2% identified as Hispanic or Latinx. Other minorities were significantly less than 1%. Being a largely caucasian customs, the students have often not been exposed to narratives of minorities or refugees, making the representation of minorities in curriculum planning incredibly important. While the kids are northot oft exposed to diversity, they are open-minded and willing to learn. The median household income in Brown County is $47, 697, and approximately 17.2% of people under 18 fall beneath the poverty line. Poverty is an inherent theme of a unit about displaced peoples, so sensitivity to our discussions about poverty will exist important.
Rationale:
What does it hateful to be at home? And what happens when you lose home? How do we discover pregnant when abode has been taken from us? People around the world are faced with homelessness and displacement, and in the current political climate of the U.s., citizens are ofttimes asked to make judgments nearly what privileges displaced and homeless populations deserve. The purpose of this unit is to help students grapple with and understand the perspective of those whose sense of home has been stripped from them, and the struggle they face up in finding
a new place of belonging, all within the context of the Vietnam War. Our focus volition exist on the text
Within Out & Back Once more
by Thanhha Lai. This text focuses on the experiences of x-twelvemonth old Há equally she and her family flee Saigon in 1975. Combining this with several other texts and multimodal sources, we will be exploring how we find belonging when our sense of abode has been stripped away. Vacca & Vacca argue that "multicultural books... provide mainstream students with opportunities to learn about other cultures and peoples" and "provide diverse students with rich opportunities not just to see themselves reflected in the books they read simply also to appreciate and celebrate the experiences" (57). It is in this vein of representation that this lesson has been planned. Like race, the issue of displaced peoples is a contentious 1 in the United states. Even so, if we ignore information technology in our classrooms, nosotros are telling our refugee and homeless students that their voice is not important and our other students that they need not worry about it. This unit of measurement strives to represent those who are often overlooked. Sociocultural theory tells us that meaningful learning occurs through social interaction with a group of peer. Likewise, Fisher, Frye, Hattie & Thayre fence that "high-quality lesson involve a proficient deal of collaboration" (35). Through call up, pair, shares, large grouping discussions, and small group work, this unit of measurement seeks to involve the perspective of all students in analyzing, synthesizing, and applying the text to ask the question: How does a sense of belonging course? Students will begin by examining their own notions of what habitation means to them, activating prior knowledge in "training for new knowledge acquisition" before moving outside the self, to the social component, and scaffolding knowledge through the perspective of both their peers and the writers we read. Through representation of the unrepresented and meaningful interaction with peers and texts, this unit highlights the humanity of displaced and transient peoples, as well
