Parent Guide > False Accusation
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 "False Accusation" by Regina Quartey.
In "False Accusation," the speaker expresses their innocence in response to a false accusation.As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Justice, Freedom & Equality, Morality, Resilience & Success, and Revenge & Betrayal as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"What is fair?", "Why do people do bad things?", "How does a person overcome adversity?", and "What drives a person to betray?"
