Grade 10
Finding Voice
Finding Voice
Overview
This theme focuses on characters discovering and expressing their authentic selves. You'll read about individuals learning to speak up, stand out, or simply be heard in a world that doesn't always listen. These stories explore how finding your voice can be an act of courage, a path to self-discovery, or a way to create change. As you read, you might recognize parallels to your own journey of self-expression and the power that comes with knowing what you want to say - and how to say it.
