I really enjoyed our lesson last week on text sets. I think they can be a great way to bring in multiple perspectives, as well as to tweak curricula to suit the needs of a particular class. I also think that through using text sets, we can teach our students to make connections between texts, which will then hopefully lead to them making connections between texts and their own lives and/or the world around them. It’s also a great way to personalize a unit a little bit, and add in content that really interests us as teachers, especially when we might not always have full choice or control over the main novels or anthologies that we teach. I’m looking forward to putting together text sets for my future classes!
