Aquí no hay viejos blancos: una clase de escritura y literatura de secundaria diversa
En este curso, los estudiantes NO leerán el canon típico de historias contadas desde una perspectiva blanca, masculina, cisgénero, heterosexual y sin discapacidades. En cambio, los estudiantes leerán las voces que faltan en el canon escolar típico. #académico

Discover a semester-long journey that challenges traditional literary canons and amplifies diverse voices in literature. In this course, students will explore empathy and compassion through novels that provide perspectives often absent from typical school readings. The four engaging novels on our syllabus include: - "Juliet Takes a Breath" by Gabby Rivera - "The Plague of Doves" by Louise Erdrich - "Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus" by Dusti Bowling - "The Secret Side of Empty" by Maria E. Andreu Supplementing these novels are compelling nonfiction pieces and personal essays, fostering a rich and inclusive learning experience. Additionally, students will produce three writing pieces and a culminating project. **Weeks 1-4: Exploring Social Justice and Representation** Engage in discussions on social justice and representation in literature, examining past and present perspectives. Dive into "The Plague of Doves" by Louise Erdrich, exploring connections between history and contemporary issues. Complete a related writing assignment. **Weeks 5-8: Immigration Narratives** Delve into "The Secret Side of Empty" by Maria E. Andreu, sparking discussions on immigration, its representations, and historical contexts. Undertake a writing assignment reflecting on themes explored. **Weeks 9-12: Bildungsroman and Identity** Analyze "Juliet Takes a Breath" by Gabby Rivera, exploring themes of bildungsroman and personal growth.

Please look at reviews and other information about each book, and be sure that you are comfortable with your learner reading these titles. There is mature language and situations in some of these titles, but they are important reads, and I believe your learner will grow and expand by reading them. Specifically, there is strong language, sexual situations, abuse, and mental illness.
You can support your student with these topics by talking to them as they read, and helping them process anything that is troubling them. You can also always reach out to me. Please read the Teacher Expertise section to see how I am qualified and prepared to deal with working through these books with your student and their peers. In addition to my training, I will utilize This Book is Anti Racist as a class resource.
