  1. Disclaimer As part of my commitment to diversity education and social justice I strive to make my workshop materials freely available. I hope they are put to good use in continuing the pursuit of justice. However, please remember, the true substance of these workshops is not found in these documents, it is found within the workshop experience. If you view these documents without having seen how I use them, a faulty assumption may be made regarding my viewpoint. Therefore, I simply ask that if you have any questions at all, please contact me. I’d be happy to share my viewpoint.

This little girl often wore a little cloak, with a pretty little red hood, and for this reason people called her Little Red Riding Hood. One morning Red Riding Hood’s mother called her inside. Little Red Riding Hood, here is a little basket with some bread and butter and sugar cookies. Take this little basket to the cottage of your grandmother.
