This is a pretty light week, coming off of spring break--no written assignment, no novel to read, and just one article (Kuhlman). (The MacDowell article listed on your syllabus is an error, it was used last term, but is not going to be used this term. ) Hope you're not too disappointed. :~)
Here is a session for all of you who are eager to think about pedagogy--this time we are going to spend time thinking about what would kids say, how would they react, what should we do with books with kids, but, more importantly, what do you need to know about yourself first. The Kuhlman (2000) article will direct your thinking along these lines, and our conversation in class on Wednesday will take it further. What does Kuhlman mean by "critical pedagogy"? By "critical reading"? How does she engage children in this kind of reading?
Have you read Little House on the Prairie before, as a child or an adult? Revisit any memories you have of the book--what were your responses to the text? (feel free to bring it to class if you have a copy)

I have only read on Little House on the Prairie book and it was for SME and our study of the Prairie Biome. It was a good story for a younger audiance and seemed to be very relatable for a book that took place during a time period I could not relate to. Most of what I remember was that the story was very descriptive and a cute little tale with a good/innocent plot.
