Unit Focus

Students read both literary and informational texts to understand the importance of leaving a legacy and the myriad ways that we can leave a legacy through our language, our families, or even our cells. Students express understanding of an author’s purpose and perspective by evaluating Skloot’s approach to telling Henrietta Lacks’ story and exploring issues of ownership and ethics in medical research.

Note: Located below are links to access handouts given in class.  As stated in the syllabus, students will recieve one copy in class.  However, if a student loses the copy given in class the student will be instructed to download the handout from this website at their paper and ink expense. In addition, additional classroom handouts will be posted on Google classroom.
