| | Synopsis
|
"'Teaching Tough Topics' shows teachers how to lead students to
become caring citizens as they read and respond to quality children's
literature. It is organized around topics that can be challenging or
sensitive, yet are significant in order to build understanding of
social justice, diversity, and equity. Racism, Homophobia, Bullying,
Religious Intolerance, Poverty, and Physical and Mental Challenges
are just some of the themes explored. The book is rooted in the
belief that by using picture books, novels, poetry, and nonfiction
selections, teachers can enrich learning with compassion and empathy
as their students make connections to the texts, to others, and to
the world." -OCLC.
