父母的引導和規範
While the novels chosen for this book club are age-appropriate and valuable for understanding historical events, they do contain some content that may be upsetting or scary to some learners. Here is a brief overview of the sensitive topics covered in each book.
1. "Projekt 1065" by Alan Gratz
-Violence: The book includes scenes of war and conflict, including descriptions of physical violence, danger, and death related to espionage activities.
-Themes of War: Depictions of Nazi Germany and the harsh realities of living in a war-torn country can be intense.
-Child Spies: The protagonist, a young boy, is involved in dangerous espionage, which can be distressing due to the constant threat of discovery and violence.
2. "The War That Saved My Life" by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley
-Abuse: The main character, Ada, suffers from physical and emotional abuse by her mother. This includes neglect, confinement, and verbal abuse.
-War Injuries: The book includes references to war injuries and the impact of war on civilians, including sheltering during bombing raids, which might be unsettling.
-Rescue and Healing: While Ada's journey towards healing and finding a loving environment is uplifting, the initial depictions of her abuse can be difficult to read.
3. "The Devil's Arithmetic" by Jane Yolen
-Holocaust: The book deals with the Holocaust, including the horrific treatment of Jews in concentration camps.
-Violence and Death: There are scenes depicting violence, death, and the extreme suffering of prisoners in the camps.
-Historical Trauma: The depiction of the traumatic experiences of the Holocaust might be very intense and upsetting for young readers.
Discussion and Safety Precautions:
-Preparation: I will provide context and prepare students for sensitive content before they read those sections.
-Supportive Environment: I will create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable expressing their feelings and thoughts.
-Open Dialogue: I will encourage open dialogue and provide space for students to process their emotions and ask questions.
By handling these sensitive topics with care, I aim to provide a thoughtful and respectful exploration of these important historical events while supporting the emotional well-being of all students.

With thirty years of classroom experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge in teaching and engaging young readers. In my classroom, I used the "Whole Novels: A Student Centered Approach" by Ariel Sacks, which allowed students to read entire novels independently before engaging in class discussions and analysis to foster a deeper connection with the text and promote critical thinking and literary appreciation. I apply this same method in my online courses.
Additionally, I have extensive training in teaching sensitive and challenging topics with care and respect. I have attended numerous workshops and seminars focused on best practices for addressing difficult historical events and themes, ensuring that these subjects are handled with the sensitivity and understanding they require. My approach emphasizes creating a safe and supportive environment where students can explore and discuss these topics thoughtfully, providing them with the necessary context and emotional support to engage with the material meaningfully.評論
