Carolyn Beyer on 26 Mar 12Thought this was an interesting article that deals with two issues: social racism and reading comprehension. Many teenagers have read Hunger Games (we took a poll in my 9th grade class today and over half of the class had read the books and about a third had seen the movie) and many are also going to see the movie that was just recently released on Friday. It's interesting to talk to students about the differences between the two, but this article points out an even deeper issue when people do not read closely. It's fascinating, and the racist issues this article presents are disgusting, but it is something that we may deal with as teachers in a diverse world.
