Parent Guide > First Love
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 "First Love" by John Clare.
In "First Love," the speaker describes the overwhelming sensations they feel for a woman they are seeing for the first time.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Beauty & Happiness and Love as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"How do we define beauty?", "How are we changed by love?", and "How does love emerge?"
