DEAR MARTIN -- Nic Stone

Greetings,

Do Black Lives Matter? Yes, and Nic Stone's Dear Martin is a great way to get your students involved and increase their understanding.

The novel will inform and inspire your students. Strong characters, relevant issues, engaging style, and a unique mix of form: chapters, letters, and newscasts catch and maintain the reader's interest. Integrated into the story is Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream of "intergroup and interpersonal living." Teach for transformation.

This rich, relevant, multi-use 164-page resource covers all four strands: Oral, Reading, Writing, and Media, and should help maximize and even multiply your energy, as well as your students’. Multiple evaluation opportunities are provided for students to develop their skills and showcase their learning,

Students will march into your class eager to learn, and march a little better prepared to make a positive change within the sphere of their influence. And as they do so, may they be empowered by MLK’s words, “I have decided to stick with love. Hate is a burden too great to bear.”
