She's a retired teacher now, but many years ago created an exercise for her students to experience the kind of discrimination in the past. Now she has videos for teaching this. We used the video for leadership development training. The video would also be worth your time.Genehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03328081117711055680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97662322971753225.post-41554504033489267332011-04-30T00:37:18.458-05:002011-04-30T00:37:18.458-05:00i swear i didn't read this post but wanted to ...i swear i didn't read this post but wanted to let you know how excited i am to read this when i finish the book.

I liked Minnie the best, especially her revelation at the end!<br />The most recent "best book I've ever read" was Mornings in Jenin by Susan Abulhawa. It's an epic novel based on historical events in Palestine and what is now Israel. I think it was the fasted I've ever read a book and when I finished and was heading to the library I was like, "how am I going to find a book that will even come close to this?" I haven't found a book to compete yet, but I'm still trying.Ceciliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16561717037129891045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97662322971753225.post-86517275245600001532011-04-29T10:27:17.209-05:002011-04-29T10:27:17.209-05:00My mom read that a few weeks back and told me to a...My mom read that a few weeks back and told me to add it to my reading list. It sounds like a fantastic book. The last book I read was Water for Elephants (also after my mom suggested it), and I loved it! I grew up loving Amy Tan and in the past few years have really gotten into Lisa See, so if you have any interest in Chinese historical fiction, I really recommend her novels.<br /><br />I tend to read a lot of non-fiction, so I love hearing fiction recommendations.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102468097078391681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97662322971753225.post-63516490482625784862011-04-29T07:36:19.776-05:002011-04-29T07:36:19.776-05:00We just read The Giver in the book club I'm in...We just read The Giver in the book club I'm in.
