The SBG Book Club received a grant in the Fall of 2020 from Mecklenburg county’s Arts & Science Council to run a teen reading series targeted at high school students in underserved school districts.
The Teen Syllabus is a compilation of four syllabi that have been formatted for a high school audience, including author/book history, motifs, glossary, game activity, important quotes and discussion questions. This syllabus can be used as a workbook and to facilitate solo or group reading.
The Teen Syllabus covers:
- Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler
- Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi
- Sula by Toni Morrison
- Women of Brewster Place by Gloria Naylor
