Prepare a maximum two-page report, double spaced, on your chosen book. Your tone for this assignment should be collegial and conversational. You are speaking as a professional educator to your fellow teachers, parents, future educators, etc.
Include the following in your report:
Title of book
Author
Illustrator
Publisher and year of publication
Small JPEG of the book cover
BRIEF SYNOPSIS OF THE BOOK: Tell the main points of the book in your own words. Do not cut and paste from Amazon, please. Be brief; you do not need to recount every detail in the book. Also discuss age and/or grade level appropriateness in terms of reading ability, interest level, and appropriateness of topic.
DEVELOPING AWARENESS: In a well-written paragraph, explain why and how this book develops awareness of diversity and/or related issues. Diversity can relate to: religion, race, language, sexual orientation, gender, age, geographic region, physical and mental ability, as well as other areas. Explain how you would develop the topic with students in your class.
Web Link: Provide the URL and a brief description of a web site that would be appropriate to use when teaching with the book. Describe how you could incorporate the web site when teaching with the book. The web site does not have to be specifically about the book (it could, but does not have to be). However, the web site you select must address the diversity topic of focus; avoid web sites that broadly discuss diversity. The web site could be for the teacher’s use, the students’ use, or both.
