Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.
This week in class, we’re reading "A Dream Within a Dream" by Edgar Allan Poe.
In "A Dream Within a Dream," the poet Edgar Allan Poe ponders whether or not everything in life is simply an illusion.
As we read, we will be discussing the theme of Fate & Free Will as it relates to the text. We are trying to answer this big question :
"Can we control our fate?"
