Parent Guide > Weight
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 "Weight" by Dhonielle Clayton.
In "Weight," a young couple worries about their relationship after choosing to undergo a procedure that examines the weight of the love in their hearts.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Fate & Free Will, Identity, and Love as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"Can we control our fate?", "What makes you who you are?", and "How are we changed by love?"
Ways to support your child:
