Parent Guide > The Tides of Change
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 "The Tides of Change" by Victoria Marie Lees.
In the story "The Tides of Change," two sisters learn the importance of helping others.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Fear & Paranoia, Honor & Courage, and War & Peace as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"How does fear drive action?", "What does it mean to be brave?", and "How are we changed by war?"
