During this week I finished reading "The Well" and "Skylark," and overall it was books that I really wouldn't put in my classroom not because of the themes just because overall it's hard to relate to those types of books when we don't have to deal with the same problems they did back then. I think they would be good books for an old Lit lesson or if we were talking about differences around time periods we could use them as a comparison for a cool history lesson. Other than that, I don't really have questions. I didn't really enjoy these books because it was hard to relate to anything or try to find. It was kinda really sad in all three of the books. Other than Skylark at the end when they went back home.
I believe that having books that promote inclusivity is crucial for initiating conversations about identity, both your own and others'. These books can shed light on your own identity and help you understand the identities of others. They can be powerful tools for people to explore their own identities and foster empathy towards others. I am dedicated to nurturing my students' ability to develop their own identities and embrace diversity.
