Parent Guide > Inundated
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 "Inundated" by Hayes Davis.
In Hayes Davis' poem "Inundated," a speaker describes a man's experience in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Identity, Prejudice & Discrimination, and Resilience & Success as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"How does a person overcome adversity?", "What makes you who you are?", and "How does prejudice emerge?"
