Truth or Care? Saving Shiloh
The students will be able to explain the importance of responsible citizenship and identify ways they can participate in civic affairs after reading the novel Shiloh and completing research of their own on animal abuse. Through this research, they will be responsible for gathering facts to support their stances on the dilemma Marty faces when deciding whether to return Shiloh to his owner, or secretly keep him in order for him to be safe. Students will have real-world experience when they create and are reponsible for caring for their own pet.
