Please write in tone of college student .
For this assignment, choose an elementary school textbook to review and evaluate. You should utilize your learning of bias in child development research and the history of (and current) institutional racism in elementary schools as a lens through which to review the text (SLO 2 and SLO 8). Then write a critique in the style of a book review that discusses the extent to which one marginalized group (e.g., African American, Native American) culture, experiences, history, values, etc. are present or absent in the text. This enables you to discuss the contributions to US society of at least one group that has experienced racism and how these contributions compare with or relate to the contributions made by other groups (SLO 7).
The assignment will be evaluated based upon:
Detailed review and evaluation of the chosen text
Ability to critique text utilizing evidence and clear background knowledge
Critique shows ability to write effectively for given purpose.
Your textbook critique should be a minimum of 4 pages (1000 words) in length.
Where do I find a textbook?
For your upcoming textbook critique, you are welcome to find a textbook to use on your own (feel like paying your former elementary school teachers a visit?) or you can try this link: http://textbooks.wmisd.org/getacopy.html
This information was provided by our subject librarian:
“In lieu of physical textbooks, I recommended some other sources to your student, starting with the education resources offered through the Michigan eLibrary (MeL): https://mel.org/libraries/school. For example, there’s the eBook K-8 Collection in which students could search for books on racism, prejudice, social justice, etc.
There are also many repositories for OER (Open Educational Sources). Though OER textbooks tend to be more for high school and college-aged students, there may be books written for younger readers. See https://libguides.cmich.edu/OER/finding for links to some of those repositories.”

There are three (3) film reaction papers (2-3 pages, 12 pt, double-spaced) assigned throughout the course out of the assigned films/documentaries in the Modules. One out of these three film reaction papers will be your GL film reaction paper. The GL film (Global Learning film) will be identified within the syllabus and Modules. Students can choose any of the required films in the course on which to write a reaction paper. It is recommended that students select a film that is relevant to the recent Module readings covered. The format of the film reaction papers will be posted under class resources.
The goal of these response papers is for you to identify the film’s theme(s), explore your personal reaction to the material presented, and make connections to class readings and discussions. Please do not summarize the film in your film reaction paper. Prior to viewing the film, you will be given questions to consider that are meant to stimulate active engagement. The following are suggested formats for these response papers:
Write a letter to the filmmaker or one of the persons who appears in the documentary conveying your response to the piece and posing any questions you have about the work or their participation in it.
Write a letter to a classmate who missed out on the readings that week, your mother, boss, etc. explaining what the film was about.
Create a dialogue between persons or characters who appear in the piece, an author we’ve read and the filmmaker, yourself and anyone in the film, etc.
Identify the key argument that the filmmaker is making and support or refute it

Identify which chapter from the book you are using and describe similarities and differences between your experience and your interviewee’s.
Select one of your experiences with technology and one of your interviewees experiences that resemble the experiences in the assigned chapters from From Curlers to Chainsaws for week 8, or any chapters from that book. Identify which chapter from the book you are using and compare how technology informed your and your interviewee’s generational (Gen X, Gen Z, Boomer etc.), regional, gender, racial, religious, ethnic, familial, class or cultural identity.
In your comparisons for #1 and #2, be sure to identify a specific technology and cover any positive or negative impacts of the technology.
Note: The experiences you choose for this paper do not necessarily have to appear in your work from stage 1 and stage 2.
Conclude your paper with a paragraph about about 5-7 sentences that conveying your general thoughts about how technology and human experiences can shape each other.
Make sure to cite your interview and any other resources you have used, including course learning materials, in MLA format at the end of your paper.
