Also, there is the classic stuff by Carol Gilligan that is probably
accessible everywhere. The Change Agent is also accessible online.
Sheryl Gowen can probably email a copy of Friends from the Kitchen and
email it to the group if we ask nicely ;-)

Subject: [WomenLiteracy 419] Re: book discussion

 

We have successfully utilized two books:

A Child Called It 
The Secret Life of Bees

in our newly formed book club for parents enrolled in Family LIteracy

Both are small reads and the participants that could not get the whole
thing read still benefited and participated in the discussion groups.
Check them out.  Also look at the discussion questions in the back of
the books.  Every one of the parents gave rave reviews of the books and
were anxious to read more.  Only one of the participants had even read
an entire book prior to this book club.  They were initially reluctant
to even start with the club but enjoyed the books so very much that they
are loyal participants now.  Book clubs are invaluable!

Quite a few of you expressed an interest in exploring the possibility of
having a discussion on something that we all read regarding women and
literacy. I have collated all the suggestions from previous posts and
listed them below. If you are interested, please look at the list, and
post which resource you would like to discuss on this listserv. 
Some possible considerations when deciding:
a. Is the material accessible on the Internet-not everyone has equal
access to materials not on the Internet.
b. Should we do a complete book, chapter, or article? Not everyone has
the same amount of time to read.
c. Is there a resource not included on this list that you would like to
recommend?
Once we decide on the reading material, we can decide on the procedure
of how we want to go about doing this. 
By the way, if I have made a mistake in listing a resource, please let
us know!
Please post your suggestions by Friday the 14th.
