This Monday, we analyzed the poem, Changes, by Jacqueline Woodson. Today we're going to take a deeper look into some of the changes she experienced growing up in America, as well as some of the changes that people are experiencing in today's America. Our experience will guide us through connecting a Woodson poem, What Everybody Knows Now, and a NewsELA article, Detroit Teachers Call In Sick to Protest Unhealthy Crowded Schools. Specifically, we'll be looking at how laws put in place to make meaningful changes in society sometimes take a long time. Read both pieces and take time to discuss the similarities between the varying genres as well as the differing time periods.
