Teach young readers how to compare two texts and select passages that exemplify a specific theme with Lesson 6 from Unit 3. Begin by modeling how an expert reader selects examples from a text, performing a think aloud on how Article 2 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) applies to the character of Mama in Esperanza Rising. Then your class will work in groups to select passages related to their own selected article of the UDHR. Selected passages, UDHR articles, and an exit slip are all included in the resource.
