When the Mockingbird becomes an Albatross: Reading and Resistance in the Language Arts Classroom.
Ricker-Wilson, Carol
English Journal, v87 n3 p67-72 Mar 1998
Describes the discomfort experienced by students and teacher as they explored how blackness is portrayed and understood in "To Kill a Mockingbird." Grapples with fundamental pedagogical questions: how to talk about race with a diverse group of students and how to examine victimization and oppression. Suggests tandem teaching with M. Taylor's "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry." (SR)
