Post 350- to 500-word response to the following: You have the ability to choose three or four books for your students. Based on what you have learned in this course, how can you assess the level of bias and stereotypes in the contents of these texts? What are your criteria? Is there a level of bias you feel is acceptable? If so, how can that be addressed with your students?
First you need to go back and study your texts. That's your best source of information.
What have you learned about biases and stereotypes? How can you spot them in children's books? Your criteria are the stereotypes and biases you wouldn't accept in a children's book.
Then choose the books. You may need to go to a library to find suitable books. Read them and then explain how you would use them in the classroom and for which grade levels.
Finally, if you choose a book that has a small amount of bias, explain how you'd deal with that bias when presenting it and reading it with your students.
Dawn, you're not going to find anything more specific online. You need to show your instructor what you have learned and how you now think about stereotypes and biases in children's books.
I have these 2 books suggested to me.. How about Harry Potter... Little Women... but I have not read them... I have not read any books t help me with this work... I do not read books
so i have no help or clue on this besides what i was suggested on the books but i still need 1 more book besides those 2 books.....
I am so stressed about this
the texts does not help me find books that have bias and stereotyping in them... I do not have time to go to the library..i am so upset and frustrasted.. I have no idea I am not a person who reads books..
I suggest you go to the library and find picture books for preschool or kindergarten children.
By the way, if you want to be a teacher or teacher's assistant, you should become familiar with children's books. If teaching is important to you, then I urge you to take an hour and visit your local library.
i cant do that the library is closed here and this is due tonight. I just need suggestions on3-4 books with that in it. andwhat grade level and how i would teach them and describe the books
Dawn, you are on the wrong path for a teacher of children. I suggest you immediately re-evaluate your career goals.
You wont change your thinking nor habits, nor will the need for books and love of books ever be eliminated in young minds.
You are wasting time and money preparing for something that you do not love. In elementary, and pre-elementary children, reading is the prime priority.
Bob Pursley is right. You really need to reevaluate what you're studying for. I have never met a good teacher -- of any age group -- who doesn't love reading and who doesn't read books and books and books.
bob, i said i do not read much but i never once said i would not read to children.. I do that now in what i do... I just do not know or can think of any books that have them in it. Also, I never said i did not love doing what i am going to do. There is more than just reading to teach children. All I asked for here is help on this....My path is the right one and no one can tell me different... I am not perfect andim not perfect about what books have what i am looking for....
OK, I hear you. Remember what I said. If you don't love it, you will come to hate it. Kids sense when you read to them your personal excitement and joy of books. For the kid who has difficulty in reading, these attitude pickups just re-enforce to that kid another reason for not to keep trying to read.
Think about it. If no one can tell you differently, then good luck.
