In its series about Banned Books, the New York Public Library is highlighting the subversive work of Dr. Seuss:
Dr. Seuss himself admitted that as an author he was “subversive as hell,” and did not want to write stories about modeling good behavior for children. His books encouraged standing up to authority while comically illustrating the consequences of fear-based thinking—bold ideas that have made a Grinch out of those opposed to instilling such attitudes in children.
One of the items we’ll focus on this year in AP Language is broadening your background knowledge on a variety of subjects, from classic literature to current events. For now, I will be providing some of that information every class day on the Daily Wisdom site, which you can access here.
Each day, look for a great sentence, interesting quote, delightful poem, interesting article, or more.
Later in the year, you will be providing this information for the rest of us.
