The genre of this book is multi-cultural. This book is also fictional. The art in this book is illustrations. The content in this story is that a young girl messes up some valuable material by not being careful, but in the end the girl does not get in trouble. The reading level for this book would be third grade. There are also no curricular connections present in this story.
1. "Multi-cultural" is not a genre.
2. This book was written by a black South African, about a young black girl in, presumably, South Africa. How is that "multi-cultural"? I'd ask, but I'm terrified the answer, deep down, is that if it doesn't involve white kids in the US, it's "multi-cultural".
3. No curricular connections? Seriously? This person can't think of any way to extend the book into a lesson?
Whoever assigned this project for their students has some slackers or twits... not sure which.
