As a child growing up in the depression era you would have your mother sewing all of your clothes for you for the summer and winter. Also during the depression era blacks were not effected really becasue they were already in poverty. to really understand how blacks had to deal with the depression i suggest reading this interview at http://library.thinkquest.org/12111/mculley.html This interview gives you the real deal on what it was like for blacks in the depression.Also during the depression alot blacks were deppending on eachother for alot of things the reason they depended on eachother was because they knew the white man wasn't going to give you nothhing. to understand thorughlly i suggest http://www.biography.com/video.do?name=womenshistory&bcpid=1859729963&bclid=1631259987&bctid=1620576794. This shows how it was for blacks.

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.

I believe that knowing about rape before you beging reading I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings is helpful, because the main part of the book is when Maya gets sexually abused as a young child by her stepfather figure.it's helpfull knowing what all she might be going through even though it might not mention everything.it's advised to just take care of yourself wether its reporting the rape,like when Maya was in court for it after telling Bailey, or ever just taking care of your own health.

Who would the book appeal to? I think this book would appeal to older people that have alot of time on thier hands and have nothing else to do.
What about it is appealing? The only thing i can find appealing about this book so far is when she pees on herself at church other than that this book has not been that much interesting.
What obstacles should student readers of this book be ready for? some obstacales i think student readers are going to run into is the context of the book. It's wording is one from back in the slavery times so there might be an issue with that but a issue their definettly are going to run into is its way of exxagerating on scences.
What would students need to know about in order to understand the book? Students will need to know how to stay awake in order to follow this book and also how to have the capability to withstand a boring intro.
What issues does the book deal with that students might be interested in discussing? I think one situation that will be a topic of disscusion throught the book will be maya peeing on herself at church.
Is there any “mature” content in the book? If so, what kind of content? How would you deal with such content in class? Yes there is mature content in this text. The mature content in this book is Rape. The way to deal with that is to hit head on and dont sugar coat anything. My Modo leave it all on the table, that way you have nothing left unanswerd

My Opinon
I can see myself not really liking this book maybe because of its name or its just not very attractive to me when i see the cover. They tell me not to judge a book by its cover but this one seems like it gives a whole new meaning to the statement. I feel as if this book is going to be long and boring. I think this is one of those books that really exaggerate on the plot and really dont have a clear cut meaning.
My expectations
I'm not sure what i really expect from this book...... I have read many of Maya angelou's poems but not her books. Her poems are amazing and im excited and anticipating to read this book.... i kinda expect a new perspecitive when I'm done reading this book..... I believe this book is suppose to talk about her life and the struggles she went through growing up.......... os happy i have the chance to read this book...............................................................................................................
Cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Expectations/opinion
ExPeCtAtIoNs:
~get reading done on time (around 20pgs a day)
~lets all make sure we participate in group work/conversations
Haven't read any memoirs besides This Boy's Life and now I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. If we all get the reading done on time this will be a lot easier for all of us to have the discussions.
