EDU 330- Book 3- Re-thinking

One critical point that while "re-thinking" the book I may have overlooked is the potential of an "issue" book. Although using a book like this would prove to be useful in introducing many issues and talking/dealing with them, there is also the alternate. This book may be uncomfortable for some students to read and or deal with. I would suggest knowing the class and having a good classroom environment, one in which all students feel safe and secure enough to voice their opinion and feelings on the book, the issues, and their life too. I optimistically believe that students want to open up and I hope that this book could be taught without problems. But the classroom is always full of surprises.
