The Heads Up Handout
I’m letting you all know about this way before we begin these reading units so that I
can prepare myself to help you learn about these topics in a way that makes all of us feel
safe and ready to learn.
Please use the space below to let me know if there’s anything specific I can do to enhance
or support your learning while reading these texts:
Have you read or heard of any of these texts before? If so, what do you know about them?
I want to hear from you! If you think one of these books could be replaced by an
alternative text, please list an alternative below and explain why it would be a good book
for us to read together. Our book list is subject to change, and I’m happy to consider your
ideas for new literature in our class.
If you don’t feel okay working with these topics in class for some reason, THAT’S OKAY!
You can color in the circle below, and Ms. B will help you figure out what kind of lesson
will work for YOU.
Please use the space below to identify which of the themes listed you would prefer not to
