Secondary Sources for Ethnography paper

My question is, how do you pick material that is suitable for students and what do you do with parents who don't agree?

I've only looked at one source but I've learned that it's important to look at the district requirements first and see what the choices are and then limit your selection from there. After you have a better feel for the classroom, it will be clearer what types of material they are ready to handle. Providing parents with the knowledge of what material will show up in these books and how you find it relevant will defend your rationale and hopefully sway their opinion.

Your question: how do you pick material that is suitable for students and what do you do with parents who don't agree? It is quite relevant to you as a future teacher because it will more then likely come up. The secondary research you've done and plan to conduct so far seem relevant to your RQ. Answering this RQ makes a contribution to the field of literacy education. You should consult secondary research sources to help you answer the questions you still have. I'd like to see more case studies or interviews conducted for your data collection to help further your RQ.
