I
was almost inspired to try my hand at poetry (like a group did earlier this week) but decided I will keep
this short and simple. Both books are worthy reads with themes that
deserve exploration. Me And Banksy highlights the chronic way we are
"watched" in our current society and asks us to challenge the belief
that we are safer through this surveillance. Exploring what does it mean
to be free through the book We Are Not Free is timely because of many recent
national and world events. The multiple viewpoints of the characters
presented in We Are Not Free pulled me and kept the pages turning
quickly. My vote is for We are Not Free (I know it is not the same vote as others in the group).
We wanted to create a way where we could read a few books, learn about many titles and have fun doing it! The tournament style reading of the Mighty Smackdown means that in the first round each participant reads two books, discusses both in a blog post, selecting one book to move on to the next round. Teachers are asked to commit to one round but most, if not all, continue on. We will read to the end when we will have only one book left standing!
