Module Nine Overview
Please Note: In the following readings and videos you will be encountering some deeply troubling images and ideas regarding race, colonialism, and gender. I share these with you in order for us to discuss and understand the context in which much of what is considered classic English-language children’s literature and entertainment developed.

- Give us context for the excerpt. We need enough of the plot overview to know where this excerpt occurs and tell us any information that we might need.
- Tell us about the book: When was the book written? By who? Was there a reason? What is the writing like? What are themes found in the book? Why do you think it might have been a classic? Should it still be considered one and read by kids today?
