Reading 3 Looping Sketchbook

        Slavery is one of the topics that is sometimes hard to explain to students because the true detailed story is not told to them. Rosa Parks is an example of how misinterpretations occurred because of how books are written making students confused of what really happened. The information given is broad, making the important details be missing, making misunderstandings of what really happen in those events.  The least thing teachers would want to do is to have the concept of history about slavery loose it’s meaning about. Also, knowing how to deliver the lesson and not have students re-enact this type of settings because that can cause problems. A good role-play is the one that engages the mind, not making a setting where it can be damaging to students. As it mentions in the reading about Rosa Parks, “that we need a new story, one not only more in line with the truth but one that shows the organizational skills and determination.” (Herbert Kohl. (n.d.) The Politics of Children's Literature: What's Wrong with the Rosa Parks Myth.) Stating how things exactly were can be helpful for students to understand.
