Tonight I read Words Set me Free The Story of Young Frederick Douglass written by Lesa Cline-Ransome and illustrated by James E. Ransome. When I first looked at the title I knew it was going to be about slavery somehow.
Sometimes I wish that my students would be this interested in reading. It is very different when a child feels they need to read in order to gain freedom and when they read because it is something they feel that they have to do in school. I think that many of our students today take advantage of the education that is provided to them. I do not think that it is their fault, I think that it is the time that they are growing up in.
Can words set you free? I believe so.
