Teaching Red Scarf Girl
"I am so grateful that Facing History and Ourselves developed the study guideTeaching Red Scarf Girl. Just like me, they believe in the importance between history and ourselves; they believe that Ji-li's struggle with identity, loyalty, and the authority forty years ago will be relevant, familiar, and real to the adolescents today. Let's all hope that our effort will give our young readers a little more courage, so they would use their own brains, follow their own hearts, and make some right decisions in their lives. What could be more rewarding that that for us?" --Ji-li Jiang, author ofRed Scarf Girl
