HERO IS THE WINNER!

After meeting for the first time yesterday, and putting it to a vote, our book club decided to read the book Hero. This is a story about a young man who has super hero powers and is marginalized by society because he is gay. Through reading this book, discussing its themes, reading additional articles and blogging we hope to better understand and empathize with some of the challenges gay individuals face in our society. We also hope to develop the capacity to be more understanding and tolerant with people who are different from us in general

Our essential question for the unit will be: How can we learn to put ourselves in other people's shoes so we can be more understanding and empathetic?
