We can not be empathetic if we do not see others' experiences. pknauer1 https://padlet.com/pknauer1/de4ox8ll4gnsa9pc/wish/876680017 So true!]]> 2020-10-30 15:06:04 UTC https://padlet.com/pknauer1/de4ox8ll4gnsa9pc/wish/876680017 I am so immersed in children's literature at this point with my work with Growing Readers, it so very important to offer many types of literature books so that they can see themselves as characters, or part of the problem or solution within a text. Students need to be able to "reflect" or see themselves in the mirror. matcheson https://padlet.com/pknauer1/de4ox8ll4gnsa9pc/wish/876683185 2020-10-30 15:06:49 UTC https://padlet.com/pknauer1/de4ox8ll4gnsa9pc/wish/876683185 As a child living in unhappy conditions, books were my way of escaping. https://padlet.com/pknauer1/de4ox8ll4gnsa9pc/wish/876687687 I still read books as a means of escaping and to reward myself. ]]> 2020-10-30 15:07:53 UTC https://padlet.com/pknauer1/de4ox8ll4gnsa9pc/wish/876687687 I have often wished that I was a talented writer who could reflect my experiences through the mirror of literature. https://padlet.com/pknauer1/de4ox8ll4gnsa9pc/wish/876690821 I wondered how the authors knew what I was thinking.]]> 2020-10-30 15:08:41 UTC https://padlet.com/pknauer1/de4ox8ll4gnsa9pc/wish/876690821 https://padlet.com/pknauer1/de4ox8ll4gnsa9pc/wish/876691801 Books take us places we would never be able to go. Helps us build prior knowledge and experiences that, otherwise would be inaccessible. So often our students will only experience the world through literature.
