- W2555816579 abstract "Language Arts, Volume 90 Number 6, July 2013 Teachers today must address academic standards while also preparing students for their roles as socially responsible citizens. In the United States, our democracy provides not only rights and privileges for the individual, but responsibilities for each of us. Throughout history, the US education system has emphasized, to a greater or lesser degree, this core principle. We have historically understood that our citizens must have the capacity to understand social issues and to make decisions for the benefit of the country as a whole. Thomas Jefferson, who developed the first state university in Virginia, held that cultivating morality, virtue, and courage should be among the goals of education (Chinard, 1926). The books reviewed below can assist in enabling young people to take up the mantle of democracy in their classrooms, schools, and communities. Lester Laminack and Reba Wadsworth wrote Bullying Hurts: Teaching Kindness through Read Alouds and Guided Conversations, a thoughtful approach to addressing the problem of bullying in our schools. They provide a well-defined series of steps for developing kindness, compassion, and an understanding of difference in elementary school children. Chris Leland, Mitzi Lewison, and Jerome Harste explain the importance of a critical literacy curriculum in Teaching Children’s Literature: It’s Critical! They show us how to teach young people to critically examine the texts they read and to take action on social issues. Kylene Beer and Robert Probst, in Notice and Note: Strategies for Close Reading, provide students with ways to read closely and think deeply about ideas presented in complex text, engendering in students a sense of self-discipline, perseverance, and responsibility for one’s reading. Scaffolding students to become critically reflective readers who value and respect their thinking and the thinking of others promotes socially responsible ideals held by good citizens. Finally, Peter Johnston, in Opening Minds: Using Language to Change Lives, provides teachers with an understanding of how to use language to promote children’s ability to engage, debate, and grow in their collective minds, which in turn develops qualities needed for civic engagement. These four books may be used to build a curriculum that is not only academically rigorous, but also embraces Thomas Jefferson’s vision of a school system that develops socially responsible citizens.
