Teachers Network: Writing a Short Story Based on Kindred

Curated by ACT

In this lesson plan, students will engage in the technology, social studies, and language arts standards as students engage in reading by Octavia Butler's book entitled Kindred. Students will research tslavery. Students will keep a journal or write letters about the text, and as a culminating activity, they will "become the character" of a slave.
