Brave New Teaching: A Podcast for High School and Middle School Teachers

Unit Makeover feat. Ruta Sepetys: Historical Fiction, Research, and Storytelling


Listen Later

Did you catch our two part interview series with New York Times Bestselling Author, Ruta Sepetys? If not, you can check out part one in episode 152 and part two in episode 153. 

(Quick update: I, Amanda, have since met Ruta in real life on her book tour!)

Now that the interview is over, we are dedicating this episode to two main things - a full debrief and to strategize how you can practically integrate her texts into your curriculum.

We’ll share what our big takeaways were from our conversation with Ruta. Then, we’ll dig into how you can makeover one of your units specifically using her latest novel, I Must Betray You or Between Shades of Gray. However, these ideas can really be used with all of her historical fiction novels.
