Read the book, paying close attention to and noting how the culture, social issue or religion is portrayed.
Identify the author/illustrator’s attitude(s) and perspective(s) about the topic being written about.
Referring to the text/illustrations from the book, discuss in a formal 4-5 paragraph writing the author’s attitude(s) about the specific cultural group, social issue, or religion.
