Construct your paragraph(s) to answer your chosen prompt by following the TEAL format (Topic Sentence, Evidence, Analysis and Link) Choice A: Theme Comparison How do The Unwanted and Refugee develop a similar theme about the refugee experience (such as survival, fear, hope, or resilience)? Compare how each author communicates this theme and which text you found more impactful—and why. Choice B: Perspective & Point of View Compare how perspective is presented in The Unwanted and Refugee. How does Don Brown’s use of graphic nonfiction compare to Alan Gratz’s use of multiple fictional narrators? How does perspective affect the reader’s understanding of refugees’ experiences? Choice C: Author’s Craft & Impact Both authors want readers to understand the realities of being a refugee. Compare one author’s choice (use of images, structure, language, or storytelling style) in The Unwanted with one author’s choice in Refugee. Which approach do you think is more effective for a Grade 6 audience, and why?
