This week in class we had a guest speaker who was intriguing and compelling. I found what she said about mirror books very interesting. Having children in class they are always very interested in books that have some sort of connection to themselves. Mirror books allow them to see themselves in the literature that they read and make it that much more special for them.
We also talked about controversial books. When someone writes a book about a certain religion or culture a lot of students take it for truth and do not question the validity. The importance of teaching our children everything you read is not truth is invaluable. Sometimes people or cultures are not portrayed how they truly are.
