ACTIVITY 1 :

ALY: 5 YRS OLD

The Frog King

She picked him up with two fingers, carried him upstairs, and set him in a corner. As

she was lying in bed, he came creeping up to her and said, "I am tired, and I want to

sleep as well as you do. Pick me up or I'll tell your father."

With that she became bitterly angry and threw him against the wall with all her

might. "Now you will have your peace, you disgusting frog!"

But when he fell down, he was not a frog, but a prince with beautiful friendly eyes.

And he was now, according to her father's will, her dear companion and husband. He

told her how he had been enchanted by a wicked witch, and that she alone could

have rescued him from the well, and that tomorrow they would go together to his

kingdom. Then they fell asleep.

Why the piña has a

hundred eyes

The story of why the pinya has a hundred eyes originates from Philippine

folklore. According to the tale, there was once a beautiful maiden named

Pinya who caught the eye of a jealous enchantress. In a fit of envy, the

enchantress cursed Pinya, transforming her into a pineapple plant with a

hundred eyes to watch over her at all times.

CENSORSHIP OF CHILDREN AND

ADOLESCENT LITERATURE

VACCINATION - necessary tools to critically engage with and navigate potentially challenging or controversial content in literature. PROTECTION - efforts to shield children and adolescents from potentially harmful or inappropriate content in literature.

APPROACH TO

CENSORSHIP

Censorship of children and adolescent literature refers to the restriction or suppression of books and other materials intended for young readers. This censorship can take various forms, including challenges to specific books, removal of books from libraries or school curricula, and restrictions on access to certain materials based on their content or themes.

DIDACTISM

Didacticism refers to a teaching or instructional approach that is intended to convey specific moral, ethical, or ideological lessons to the audience. In literature, didacticism often involves the explicit or implicit presentation of a moral or philosophical message, with the aim of educating or instructing readers about certain values, beliefs, or behaviors.

People Concerned

Authors and publishers play a crucial

role in creating literature that reflects diverse experiences and perspectives. They strive to produce books that not only address issues like racism and sexism but also promote empathy, understanding, and social justice.

Authors

Parents and families advocate for inclusive education that addresses a wide range of issues, including racism, sexism, ableism, LGBTQ+ discrimination, and more. They work to ensure that their children have access to curriculum materials, classroom environments, and school policies that promote diversity and equity.

Parents

Educators engage in ongoing professional development to enhance their understanding of various social issues and effective teaching strategies. They participate in workshops, trainings, and conferences focused on anti-racist education, feminist pedagogy, LGBTQ+ inclusion, and other relevant topics.
