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 "How Salt Shook an Empire" by Sara Wilson Etienne.

In the informational text "How Salt Shook an Empire," Sara Wilson Etienne discusses Mahatma Gandhi's march to protest the British government's tax on salt.

As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Honor & Courage, Justice, Freedom & Equality, and Social Change & Revolution as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :

"What does it mean to be brave?", "What is fair?", and "How do people create change?"
