Learning Goals
Students will be able to analyze cultural experiences and points of view in multiple works of world literature to explain how stories represent identity, culture, place, and belonging.
Students will be able to formulate and investigate a focused question about culture and belonging by synthesizing evidence from world literature, contextual research, and ethically gathered community-partner perspectives.
Students will be able to compare print and multimedia accounts of cultural experiences to interpret how medium, perspective, and emphasized details influence meaning.
Students will be able to lead and participate in evidence-based seminars about theme, culture, and perspective by listening empathetically, building on others’ ideas, and communicating conclusions clearly.
Students will be able to compose and revise reflective and creative writing that connects world literature evidence with insights about culture, identity, and belonging for authentic audiences.
Students will be able to evaluate and direct their growth in reading, research, writing, speaking, and listening by using feedback, reflection journals, and documented evidence of revision.
Products
World Literature Inquiry Portfolio and Seminar Record
Each student produces a focused inquiry record containing source notes, cross-media analysis, revised reflective and creative writing, evidence-based seminar preparation and leadership notes, and a self-assessment documenting growth. The portfolio synthesizes world literature, contextual research, and ethically gathered community-partner insights without requiring personal disclosure.
Our Community Digital Anthology and Exhibition Seminar
Teams curate members’ revised work into a section of the class anthology, use purposeful digital media to compare cultural perspectives, and lead an exhibition seminar for families and community partners. Their presentation synthesizes individual investigations, acknowledges differing or unresolved findings, and explains how feedback shaped the final work.
