Katherine Paterson’s young adult novel Lyddie is the foundation of a differentiated instruction unit that not only explores the rise of industrialization and labor but women’s rights issues as well. After learners read the novel, they work on writing an expository essay that demonstrates their literary analysis skills, as well as honing their narrative and persuasive writing techniques.
