This week we presented our diverse portrayals presentations. All of the presentations were informative! The groups that presented discussed the following content areas Asian American/ Asian decent literature, Autism, Christian Literature, Hispanic literature, and African American literature. I learned a lot from all the presentation but especially during the Autism Literature presentation. I really enjoyed this presentation because the presenter was very passion about the topic because she has a brother with autism. I thought she did a great job teaching the class more about autism. The books she choice were great choices and did a excellent job conveying how it is like living with an autistic sibling or friend. One of the books in her collection I really liked was My Brother Charlie by Holly Robinson Peete (who is also an actress). I love that she wrote about her own children! I also liked this book because it fell into my group category of African American Literature because the two characters in the book are African American even though the focus wasn't about them being African American they still represent the category.
