The document outlines a week-long literature unit on the novel "Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes" by Chris Crutcher. Students will be divided into small discussion groups that will meet for 4-10 minute sessions over 2 weeks to discuss selected scenes. They will then participate in a fishbowl activity and present interpretations to the class. On the final day, students will discuss personal connections to themes in the novel during a CAT class discussion.
