Original price was: $21.99.Current price is: $15.99.

Description

Looking for inclusive text pairings for your 9th grade curriculum? These curated lists for common 9th grade texts, like The Odyssey, Romeo & Juliet, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Great Gatsby, The Outsiders, and The Giver, will help add more voices to your core texts.

Each list includes ideas and activities for inclusive text pairings:
⭐️ Songs
⭐️ Poems
⭐️ Documentaries
⭐️ Art
⭐️ Podcast episodes
⭐️ TED Talks
⭐️ and more!

Each curated list represents 15+ hours of research. You can use any of these text suggestions as you plan your unit 🙂

For each text, we share easy changes, like paired texts you can incorporate on a budget or for free. We also share more difficult changes, like substitutions you could request in the future.

We are not saying that you need to replace every text; we want to continue a dialogue on how to make curricula more inclusive!

This resource was co-created by Danielle Hall from Nouvelle ELA and Sheila Frye from Teaching Literacy.

Review for The Odyssey
“I’ve never liked teaching the Odyssey and when I saw this came out I knew I HAD to have it! I love the variety of the text pairings and the breakdown by thematic focus. It inspired me to bring in other texts and media as well.”
