Unit 2: In this second unit, students are introduced to the concept of theme in a novel. Students will complete the novel as well as read informational text that provide more information about the context of the novel. Students will be asked to analyze how the author used historical facts throughout the novel. The end-of unit assessment asks students to write a literary analysis essay requiring textual support to discuss the topic of survival in Southern Sudan during and after the second civil war in the 1980s.
