I have learned that reading is so much more than the words on the page. #te850

[Sloan Tackett @sloandt7]

@SandisJeans @peck_yes @Itssa_me_Mario I love this! I should do this with the "r" word in my class... #te850

[Sloan Tackett @sloandt7]

Dr. Thomas points out that we search for ourselves within characters. A reason why people were so angry about a black Rue? #te850

[Sloan Tackett @sloandt7]

@Itssa_me_Mario Hunger Games vs. 1984 is an example of this I think! #te850

[Sloan Tackett @sloandt7]

@wargojon Hunger Games also criticizes human nature... just how far people will go to survive #te850

[Sloan Tackett @sloandt7]

Compared to Mrs. Fox, Katniss in Hunger Games breaks many gender barriers. #te850

[Sloan Tackett @sloandt7]

I find it encouraging that Ash has only been challenged once and NEVER banned! This says something about our changing world I think #te850

[Sloan Tackett @sloandt7]

@FosterELA @wargojon and pushes the reader into thinking a completely new way about relationships in fairy tales #te850

[Sloan Tackett @sloandt7]

@wargojon I think that Ash was an interesting take not only on Cinderella, but also on queer literature #te850

[Sloan Tackett @sloandt7]

@wargojon It's 75 degrees here in North Carolina! #te850

[Sloan Tackett @sloandt7]

@wargojon What about... How does Spiegelman use illustrations to represent the dehumanization of Jews in Maus? #te850

[Sloan Tackett @sloandt7]

@LeahSacker @scoontz2 I loved how it drove home the theme of speaking up of oneself and the power one can have #te850

[Sloan Tackett @sloandt7]

@wargojon I would like to somehow tie in how Maus can be used in a MS special education setting for my CQTT... any ideas? #te850

[Sloan Tackett @sloandt7]

@FosterELA Do you think that this story would be a "safe" novel to read or would it strike too close to home for some students?#te850

[Sloan Tackett @sloandt7]

@eflessland @gutows25 @peck_yes Is it part of our job to provide students with the skills they need to communicate freely? #te850

[Sloan Tackett @sloandt7]

@CarrieMcCloud4 @wargojon I love this explanation! Helped clear this up for me #te850

[Sloan Tackett @sloandt7]

@scoontz2 @wargojon or the principal! Another representation in the story of unjust authority figures #te850

[Sloan Tackett @sloandt7]

@JenGlazier @eflessland My first thought is that there is some trauma involving an adult... #te850

[Sloan Tackett @sloandt7]

@mrssmithkort I loved it so much that I JUST started a Donor's choose project to get a class set of Maus for my resource room! #te850

[Sloan Tackett @sloandt7]

@eflessland @peck_yes I did! Even today I found myself thinking more about the student's emotional stance than their academics #te850
