Q2

What a wonderful read! Jacqueline Woodson, scholar and children’s author of many books gives her quick take on “the telling of the tale”. I especially love her finals words in this piece!
What is so important about the story when it comes from the actual person – or rather, from someone of that culture or identity (insider perspective)? What connected with you? Your reflection don’t have to be formal or brilliant. And you can disagree about a point and tell us why? Or reflect on something meaningful and tell us why! Then check out your fellow student’s responses. Pick one and comment on it. Please be respectful to your fellow students!
