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?

| Comments: I think that relying on parent's approval isn't the best case because parents can disprove and not want their students to learn or share in the discussion on this piece of literature. This solution also mentioned nothing about teaching preparations which I think is needed. |

| Comments: A note could work, but you have to consider the historical background of the work. On top of that, you would need to ensure that your students bring the notes home. |

| Comments: I don't think this is necessary because many teachers have a syllabus that lists what books they are reading and if anyone had a problem with it, I feel like it would have been addressed already. |
