Parent Guide > We Are Wise
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 "We Are Wise" by Zetta Elliott.
In "We Are Wise," a speaker explains what their community does to fight hate.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Fate & Free Will, Resilience & Success, and Social Change & Revolution as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"Can we control our fate?", "How does a person overcome adversity?", and "How do people create change?"
