Students engage with picture books, online articles, and videos, focusing on how characters respond to major challenges and how resistance emerges even within painful situations. The unit culminates in a self-portrait project where students identify core personal strengths and explain how those strengths become a form of resistance, supported by research, listening/speaking practice, and writing tasks.","| Unit Title | Reading as Resistance |\n| --- | --- |\n| Unit Length | 5 Weeks |\n| Grade Level(s)/Subject(s) | 2nd-4th grade ELA/Reading |\n| Unit Overview | In this unit, students will engage in conversations about injustice, resistance, hope and joy by exploring a series of stories about people of color overcoming challenges.
