Big Idea

http://www.apa.org/releases/sexabuse/effects.html
what is it? it is talking about the after effects of sexual abuse to children (things that might happen in some cases).
where is it from? who wrote/created it? it is from the American Psychological Assiociation

in a paragraph or two, why would this be useful to readers before they started reading? what ideas would you want them to think about? how would this piece help get at those ideas? do you agree or disagree with the ideas in the piece?
I believe that this piece would be helpful to read before reading I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings, because the story is supposed to based on Maya Angelou getting sexually abused as a child. Of course she had after effects of after the drama of being raped by her former stepfather figure. This piece might explain why she got really sick and why her underwear were bloody.
