For session 11 we'll be talking about two genres of books:
non-fiction and
biography! To prepare for class, please:
- Read Chapter 9 (Biography) and Chapter 10 (Nonfiction) in C & G.
- Read "The Truth about Helen Keller". What is the author's critique of the way in which Keller is depicted in children's biographies?
- Bring 1-2 children's biographies to class. We will use them for an activity, so it is very important to have them in hand!
- Come prepared to talk with your group about your group book choice!
- Remember that the second part of facilitator and artistic responses to Esperanza Rising are due before class.
If you want to share ideas about group choice selections, please post comments and questions on the
post about group choice.
