  Case: Teaching Huckleberry Finn in the Deep South
A high school ELA teacher has just moved to southern Georgia from Dallas, Texas. As a teacher in Texas, she experienced a high level of diversity in her school, and the school practiced multiculturalism in every content area. Now she is teaching at a rural, 1-A school in the Deep South, and she has just received approval to teach Mark Twain's, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. What preparations should she make before teaching such a controversial, yet necessary, novel?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If I was in this teachers shoes I would first give the students a background story on this novel. I think the students will love it.
