Parent Guide > Lucky Devils
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 "Lucky Devils" by Amanda K. Jaros.
In "Lucky Devils," Amanda K. Jaros explains how scientists are working to save Tasmanian Devils from extinction due to disease.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Human vs. Nature, Justice, Freedom & Equality, and Technology, Progress & Industry as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"Which is more important: freedom or security?", "How do we view nature?", "Who's in control: humanity or nature?", and "What should the future look like?"
