Again, I would love to focus this unit on female poets, primarily using Emily Dickinson, to discuss the challenges women in poetry faced in the 19th century, while focusing on topics such as gender and identity.
Under the tab, "Why Dickinson", I have shared the topics I would love to dive into throughout my unit. Although I am not posting my full unit materials, below are five lessons within my unit to help other teachers gather ideas and inspiration.
