Parent Guide > Immunity
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 "Immunity" by Kim Roberts.
In Kim Roberts' poem "Immunity," a speaker describes how they imagine the T-cells in their body.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Education & Knowledge, Human vs. Nature, and Resilience & Success as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"Who's in control: humanity or nature?", "How does a person overcome adversity?", and "How do we understand the world around us?"
Ways to support your child:
