Biographies and autobiographies are my favorite text to read! I was excited when I saw we would be discussing it in class, and although we didn’t really get the chance to, I am excited to be able to write a lesson plan based on it. So much can be learned by every person’s life story!
The children’s literature books we looked at were very surprising. I have seen some of them before in Reading 1 and Diverse Learners, but never ones based on historical figures written in such poor taste. How do these books get published? Is this a form of freedom of press? Why are there not limitations on what can be published? Is there no screening process?
