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 "Excerpt from A Room of One's Own" by Virginia Woolf.
In Virginia Woolf's "Excerpt from A Room of One's Own," a speaker explores the inequalities that exist between women and men who are pursuing their artistic and creative passions.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Gender Roles and Resilience & Success as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"How do we define the roles of men and women?" and "Why do people succeed?"
