Project Arrow ELA Curriculum Upgrade

Indian Prairie’s Project Arrow is leveling up its ELA curriculum for gifted middle schoolers, with major updates set to launch in 2026-2027. Sixth graders will tackle seventh-grade CommonLit material and Lois Lowry’s “The Giver,” while seventh graders get more advanced units, “Twelve Angry Men,” and a potential whole-class novel. Eighth graders will swap “Animal Farm” and “Hamlet,” add Sophocles’ “Antigone,” and dive into new non-fiction alongside classics like “To Kill a Mockingbird.” The district’s $115K investment in fresh texts and a vocabulary tool has officially been approved by the school board.
