During our book clubs unit, you have been reading a non-fiction book that addresses some harrowing and problematic issues in American society. Please answer the following questions:

1. Why do you think Renton School District selected the book you are reading for freshman language arts?

2. Do you agree with the district's decision to have freshmen read this book in language arts? Why or why not?

3. Please answer ALL the questions in #3: What have you learned or what are you learning from reading this book? How does that learning support you in your ability to effectively communicate with others? (Remember, effective communication is the point of language arts.) How does that learning support you in better navigating life as an emerging member of American society?

4. Were you already aware of the issues American society has that were highlighted in your book? If yes, please elaborate on how you already have knowledge of these issues (if you are comfortable). If no, please elaborate on why you think you were not already aware of the main issues presented in the book.

5. Please connect/compare the plot in your book to other, relevant events, people, stories, and/or problems in American society. If you cannot make any connections on your own, then you need to conduct research about the main issues in the book to find connections.

6. Do you have any final words about the book?

7. Do you have any feedback for Ms. Marie about the book clubs unit?
