Students will practice literary analysis and engage with character, setting, conflict, and theme. They will also become familiar with the real life historical events taking place around the events of the storyline.
BS Degree in English Education, 30+ years teaching experience, lived in Southeast Asia for 18 years, former homeschool mom, current loving Nana to some beautiful grandchildren.
Students will need access to a copy (or digital recording) of "Breaking Stalin's Nose" by Eugene Yelchin.
This book is set within the historical context of the Cold War under the harsh dictatorship of Joseph Stalin. Although there is mention of people (including Sasha's mother) having been executed in prison, the story is told from the viewpoint of a 10-year-old and there are no graphic depictions of torture or death. All discussion of basic world events surrounding the story will be age appropriate.
