Free lesson: Belonging (Grade 9 English)

Try a complete lesson free: students read an original short story about a Grade 9 student's name and explore how small moments show whether we belong.

This is a complete lesson from ENL1W Unit 1, Who I Am, free to download and use. It's exactly what you get in the paid units, so you can see the quality before you buy.

Students read “The Name,” an original short story written for this unit, about a student whose name is often mispronounced, and the teacher who stops to get it right. They analyse how the writer shows feelings without stating them, make inferences with evidence and connect the story to belonging at school.
