📘 Arturo, Gentrification, and Action Notes

Students revisit key excerpts from The Epic Fail of Arturo Zamora and annotate how Arturo's identity, community ties, and civic action develop across the text. They use a teacher-modeled note catcher to pull at least two text details, then discuss how gentrification in the novel connects to real neighborhood issues. Students end by drafting one investigable wonder question and a brief weekly partner exit reflection about a challenge, a useful strategy, and a new perspective.
