Multicultural Literature
As the diversity of our nation increases, so will the diversity in our classrooms. One way that teachers can help to ensure their students understand the different cultures around them is through literature.
Section 2.4 of our textbook( SEE ATTACHED FILE) lists the following guidelines for evaluating diversity in children's books:
Accurate representation of cultural specifics
Avoidance of stereotypes
Achievement
Author/illustrator
Copyright date
Sensibility
Language
Using the guidelines listed above and your textbook, choose a multicultural piece of literature to evaluate. Explain and justify whether each guideline is addressed in the book.
If the guideline is not addressed, share how you think the book could be modified to include all of the guidelines for evaluating diversity in children's books.
