I Don't Think About Him 6-Pack

Most people think death is hard and uncomfortable to talk about, which is why this kid pretends not to think about their brother. This 6-Pack of fiction text cards is part of Culturally Authentic and Responsive Texts, a collection curated by Dr. Sharroky Hollie. Each text in this collection builds literacy while engaging seventh grade students in meaningful cultural connections.

I Don’t Think About Him explores how life events, especially the death of loved one, shape people as they grow up. This powerful fiction text allows students to see themselves reflected in the materials they are studying, while the accompanying lesson and activities help strengthen literacy skills.

• Focuses on themes and concepts culminated from previous units
• Challenges students to consider how loss affects people differently
• Improves content-area literacy and vocabulary by defining unfamiliar words
• Includes discussion questions, a writing prompt, and a creative activity

This 6-Pack includes six copies of this title and a content-area focused lesson plan.
