Literature suggestions/5 paragraph prompts

Carolyn Lunger

I am seeking literature suggestions to go along with 1750 to present curriculum. 

I am also seeking five-paragraph essay prompts that go with the curriculum. I haven't seen any yet. 

Suggestions please. 

Thank you

    I feel like something I've had a lot of success with is connecting with the English teacher to see what some books they are teaching and try to incorporate and collab with them on a book that takes place during a time period I'm covering and then bring that content into my own class. So like for example we do Persepolis because it does a great job helping to illustrate the Iranian revolution, and I can tie it into our content, but then it also is something they read for English, and they can dive into medium and literary elements in English. Me and the English teacher try and line it up so that the kids are reading it at the same time that we're covering it, and we can bring that content in in both our classes. So I would say step one would be just to see like, is your english department teaching any books or texts that are historical in nature that could plug in to a topic you are covering?

    Hi Freda Anderson, I teach 9th grade WHy and have aligned lessons with our 9th grade English Teacher too.  For fiction set in historical place and time we've done Achebe's Things Fall Apart and Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities.  Persepolis is a memoir, and a good one, but there's a drawing of a man urinating on someone (shows genitalia), and we didn't go there. (sigh).
