| Describe the material: | Include description of contents and their intended purpose. Provides an overview to gender identity and sexual orientation for teens. Describes the history of LGBTQ self-advocacy and discrimination in society, in law, and medical practice. Quoted and referenced resources indicate substantial research from a variety of credible sources. A chapter specifically aimed at the experience of teens in questioning and affirming identity and gender (especially coming out). |
| Evaluate the material: | What is its relationship to MCPS curriculum? Helpful for Sociology and Psychology classes. Excellent resource for free choice reading for teens. |
| Analyze the material: | List material's strengths and weaknesses. Current materials and references help students quickly learn about "the old days" before Obama allowed LGBTQ personnel to openly serve in the U. S. military. Chapter 2, in particular, presents an excellent background beyond the Stonewall Uprising that showed how difficult it could be to be openly gay. |
