Imbolo Mbue, Behold the Dreamers will be our Summer read, and our first unit for English 5 IB HL. We will cover the material in fairly big chunks (see the Course Map), so, assuming you have read the novel prior to the start of school, all you will need to do is to review the selected chapters prior to class.

This novel examines the “American Dream” through the experiences of two families–one struggling to rise, the other already at the top. But, has this dream become a nightmare?
