The Common Core State Standards mean major changes for language
arts teachers, particularly the emphasis on "informational text."
How do we shift attention toward informational texts without taking
away from the teaching of literature? The key is informational
texts deeply connected to the literary texts you are teaching.
Preparing informational texts for classroom use, however, requires
time and effort. Using Informational Text to Teach Literature is
designed to help. In this second volume (the first volume is on To
Kill a Mockingbird), we offer informational texts connected to
Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun. Readings range in genre
(commencement address, historical and cultural analysis, government
report, socioeconomic research study, and Supreme Court decision)
and topic (housing discrimination past and present, abortion, the
racial and cultural politics of hair, socioeconomic mobility and
inequality, the violence associated with housing desegregation, and
the struggle against the legacy of systemic racism). Each
informational text is part of a student-friendly unit, with reading
strategies and vocabulary, writing, and discussion activities.
Teachers need to incorporate nonfiction in ways that enhance their
teaching of literature. The Using Informational Text to Teach
Literature series is an invaluable supportive tool.
