Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

  1. "No flies fly into a closed mouth." Pupils consider the proverb's meaning as they read paragraphs 20–22 from the essay "A Genetics of Justice" by Julia Alvarez. They also engage in small-group discussions about how the author refines her ideas. As a closing activity, scholars complete a brief writing activity based on their text analysis.
