Teaching Red Scarf Girl

[Anonymous]

I was just looking for a spot to post a resource about this Facing History and Ourselves Resource Guide for Red Scarf Girl. Here is a link:

Though you already have a great plan for a lesson, maybe it will spark some more ideas of help with strategies for teaching some of the concepts--including identity and community.

I have attached my lesson plans for the novel Red Scarf girl. The purpose for these lessons is to teach China’s Cultural Revolution and the nonfiction novel Red Scarf Girl. This fits into my English 9 course requirement of nonfiction/informational texts. It will be taught while students are learning about The Cultural Revolution in their Geography class. Students will use their literary analysis skills to tackle themes of discrimination, injustice, conformity, and obedience. Students will also have prior knowledge on communism, from their Geography class. Students will also be able build upon their understanding of discrimination and intolerance from other we have read this semester (Night, Lost Boy Lost Girl: Escaping Civil War in Sudan) and relate themes in this book to those books (which are all examples from history) as well. Before this unit is started, students will have watched China: A Century of Revolution (especially part two), by filmmaker Sue Williams, http://www.zeitgeistfilms.com/
