My Warrior Self
​Unit two will challenge students to discover what it means to be a warrior in their own lives. Students will understand that overwhelming obstacles, both personal and systematic, can occur in one’s life. Real-world warriors make the decision to face these obstacles head on and persevere through challenges in ways that have a lasting positive impact on themselves and others. Students will explore external and internal conflicts experienced as the real-world warriors persevere against overwhelming odds. By reading a variety of accounts of adolescent and adult real-world warriors who stood up for causes bigger than themselves, students will come to view themselves as individuals who can also champion a cause for the good of others and themselves. As students evaluate the accounts presented in each text, they will also be asked to consider the need to become a real-world warrior in their own lives. Synopsis District of Columbia Public Schools
