  • Reading Black Lives Matter
    Reading Black Lives Matter Over the last few months there has been significant media coverage of the Black Lives Matter campaign. This is a good time then, for those of us in education to reflect on our practice and ask ourselves how we can promote genuine inclusion, equality and be pro- actively anti-racist. One area that always demands scrutiny is the curriculum. What is absent and excluded sends a strong message. To that end, the English team at CPA have been creating a new English Curriculum and making sure it includes positive and diverse representations of young Black people by contemporary writers. Some of the books we have chosen to include are listed below. I hope you’ll be as excited as we are by the choices we’ve made. The Black Flamingo by Dean Atta Michael waits in the stage wings, wearing a pink wig, pink fluffy coat and black heels. One more step will see him illuminated by spotlight. He has been on a journey of bravery to get here, and he is almost ready to show himself to the world in bold colours ... Can he emerge as The Black Flamingo? The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas Sixteen-year-old Starr lives in two worlds: the poor neighbourhood where she was born and raised and her posh high school in the suburbs. The uneasy balance between them is shattered when Starr is the only witness to the fatal shooting of her unarmed best friend, Khalil, by a police officer. Now what Starr says could destroy her community.

  • DEAR MARTIN and DEAR JUSTYCE Photo © Nigel Livingstone
    CLASSROOM UNIT FOR DEAR MARTIN AND DEAR JUSTYCE Photo © Nigel Livingstone RHTeachersLibrarians.com @RHCBEducators TheRandomSchoolHouse Justyce McAllister is top of his class and set for the Ivy League— but none of that matters to the police officer who just put him in handcuffs. And despite leaving his rough neighborhood behind, he can’t escape the scorn of his former peers or the ridicule of his new classmates. Justyce looks to the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for answers. But do they hold up anymore? He starts a journal to Dr. King to find out. Then comes the day Justyce goes driving with his best friend, Manny, windows rolled down, music turned up— way up—sparking the fury of a white off-duty cop beside them. Words fly. Shots are fired. Justyce and Manny are caught in the crosshairs. In the media fallout, it’s Justyce who is under attack. Vernell LaQuan Banks and Justyce McAllister grew up a block apart in the southwest Atlanta neighborhood of Wynwood Heights. Years later, though, Justyce walks the illustrious halls of Yale University . and Quan sits behind bars at the Fulton Regional Youth Detention Center. Through a series of flashbacks, vignettes, and letters to Justyce—the protagonist of Dear Martin—Quan’s story takes form. Troubles at home and misunderstandings at school give rise to police encounters and tough decisions. But then there’s a dead cop and a weapon with Quan’s prints on it. What leads a bright kid down a road to a murder charge? Not even Quan is sure.

  • Elizabeth Acevedo's
    EDUCATORs’ Guide foR EliZABETH ACEveDo’s Includes discussion questions and educator resources for reading and discussing Elizabeth Acevedo’s novels in verse with teen readers. HarperStacks.com CLap WhEn You laNd ABOUT THE BOOK Camino Rios loves the water, her tía, her island, and spending every summer with her papi when he visits her in the Dominican Republic. Yahaira Rios lives in New York City and idolizes her father but has recently had a hard time looking him in the face. When they both receive the news that their father’s plane has crashed, they know that their lives will never be the same. Just like that, these two girls are thrown into a reality where their father is dead and it seems their dreams are quickly slipping away. How do you cope with losing the father you love while reckoning with the secrets he kept from you? What will it mean to be a sister to someone you’ve never met? And what will Camino and Yahaira do to keep their dreams alive? DISCUSSION QUESTIONS SISTERHOOD • The author writes the first part of the book switching between the sisters’ points of view in each chapter. In the last section of the book, however, their perspectives are combined, and we often have to figure out who is speaking by context clues. Why do you think the author chose to structure the book in this way? How does your understanding of the sisters change when you start seeing them through each other’s perspective? • Camino and Yahaira both have complicated feelings about suddenly having a sibling.

  • High School Smorgasbord for 2021
    With the Fire on High By Elizabeth Acevedo Citation: Acevedo, Elizabeth. With the Fire on High. New York: HarperCollins Children’s Books, a ​ ​ division of HarperCollins Publishers, 2019. 389 p. (Grades 9 and up). Annotation: Deciding what to do after high school is difficult, but Emoni Santiago knows what her passion is: cooking. When a new elective opens up, Emoni has to take Culinary Arts. However, Emoni has a ​ ​ daughter, Emma, and she relies on her Abuela for so much. Can Emoni find the balance between school, family, and her future, or what will she have to sacrifice? Booktalk: "Since my earliest memory, I imagined I would be a chef one day." Emoni Santiago is a natural in the kitchen. She grew up watching cooking shows and experimenting with food at every opportunity. Growing up she cooked for her 'Buela, whom she lives with, but now she cooks for her two year old daughter, Emma, as well. While she has the instincts for cooking, she’s never been properly trained, so when the Culinary Arts: Spain Immersion elective opens up at school, it's a chance she can't resist. Not everything is how she expects it to be though. In an actual kitchen, improvisation isn't always a good thing, no matter what the results are. Plus there's a new guy in her class, Malachi, who seems to like her but doesn't know she has a daughter at home, not to mention Tyrone, Emma’s father. There is also the matter of money; paying for Emma’s childcare is enough of a burden without adding in a trip to Spain, and she can’t rely on 'Buela for everything.

  • R.A.D. Challenge Book List
    WELCOME TO NEWMARKET’S READING ABOUT DIVERSITY (R.A.D.) CHALLENGE! For summer reading this year, we will be participating in the R.A.D. challenge, a reading challenge created by the Lamprey Chapter of the National Honor Society. The goal of the R.A.D. challenge is for students to learn more about others’ diverse experiences and perspectives. You are required to read at least one book from this list for summer reading. Below is a list of books that count toward the challenge. We have many of these titles available through our school library or through the Newmarket Public Library, so please ask one of your teachers if you need help obtaining a copy. “Every student deserves to see themselves in the books they read. Books have the power to encourage students while at the same time enlighten other readers of the truths about lives they don’t live. And hopefully, that enlightenment will spur compassion, understanding, and change.” - Jennifer H., Scholastic “On Our Minds” How does the R.A.D. Challenge work? This challenge has 10 main categories: - African American Voices (AFAV) - Asian American Voices (ASAV) - Diverse Abilities (DA) - Female Voices (FV) - Hispanic American Voices (HAV) - Immigration (IMMI) - LGBTQ+ Voices (LGBTQ+) - Native American Voices (NAV) - Social Injustice (SI) - Voices of those Experiencing Poverty/Homelessness (VOTEPH) Step 1) Read a book from one of these categories. We encourage you to read books across all 10 categories. Step 2) Once you complete a book, you will be asked to fill out the reflection form listed below. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeIC23X7LOL8cb9BXYrzV9j0rQOFR mjvRSdGGBd7A15uO7Zrg/viewform?usp=sf_link Step 3) After your reflection is submitted, you will receive a certain number of raffle tickets which you can enter in a raffle for gift cards to various businesses and restaurants.
