@Lit_Bark @readtechwrite Here’s my physical book stack! On audiobook, I have both versions of Stamped, Black Brother Black Brother, Clean Getaway, and Pet! #ProjectLITBookClub #YallRead #RTW
@HISD_ELA A6: See my A5 answer. 😊 I believe an examination of relationships and how they are strengthened and/or weakened in the face of social injustice and loss would be a worthwhile study. #YALLRead
@HISD_ELA A5: Unlike "The Hate U Give" and "Dear Martin" which address the above items as societal issues/constructs and central to the plot, @kwamealexander addresses them in the context of choices the characters make and focuses on enduring relationships as a major theme. #YALLRead
@HISD_ELA A4: I was most impressed when @kwamealexander used graphical elements to build meaning and as a complement to the physical descriptions of characters' feats and failures throughout the text. It built tension and added drama. #YALLRead
@HISD_ELA All I gotta say is look at the first poem, & "The Last Shot" poems for wordsmithing 101! @kwamealexander brings it hard...those two poems are classes all by themselves. #YALLRead
@HISD_ELA A3: I think Charlie handles the pressure of wanting-but-not-getting the Jordans well. Skating is the reason he gets in trouble at the end, not the shoes. Sure he wants them, but he doesn't do anything like steal to get them. He learned his lesson...#YALLRead
Thanks, everyone! Have a WONDERFUL school year! #YALLRead
@HISD_ELA A3: Like many young people who are impoverished, he employs humor and avoidance to deal with uncomfortable situations. #YALLRead
@HISD_ELA A2: In the poem "Thought," Charlie shares that he wishes his mom knew the shoes were not just for his feet but his heart as well. The cheap shoes he wore
reminded him of the loss of his father, the unfulfilled promise of new shoes, and were an impediment to his healing.#YALLRead
@HISD_ELA A2: As a kid who didn't always get what I wanted, anytime you want something you can't afford, it always makes us anxious and doubt ourselves. Kids feel good when they look good, and those Jordan 3's would've given him a boost of self-esteem when he needed it the most. #YALLRead
@AdigunLaSondra @HISD_ELA That spoke to me too... Chuck was able to rebound in life with the help of family, which speaks to the power we hold to help others heal. #YALLRead
@HISD_ELA A1: The concept of "rebounding" or rebuilding after a loss struck a strong chord with me. We never know what life is going to throw at us, but having a strong support system and a resolve to keep going separates survivors from overcomers. #YALLRead
@HISD_ELA A1 I'm always so impressed with @kwamealexander & his ability to switch between wordsmithing & crafting a story. So well done...#YALLRead
