Book excerpt: With the growing number of ethnic minority students in public schools, it is very important for teachers, librarians, and all those who work with children to have an understanding of appropriate multicultural literature. This book and the literature selections are designed to develop heightened sensitivity and understanding of people from various cultures and traditions through the selection of carefully chosen literature. It includes a balance of research about the culture and the literature, a discussion of authentic literature for students from early childhood through young adults, and teaching activities designed to develop higher cognitive abilities. The book uses a unique five-phase approach for the study of multicultural literature that has been field tested.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this project is to bring multiculturalism into the classroom to help students create a better understanding of other cultures as well as their own. Multicultural education is especially needed today as schools are becoming more diverse. The literature reviewed reinforces why multicultural education is needed (with a look at bilingual education), ways multicultural education can benefit the student, and barriers and benefits teachers will find with multicultural education. The review of literature also emphasizes how multicultural literature can help students meet that objective of understanding culture. Multicultural literature can increase students' sensitivity to those from differing cultures and let them view other cultural perspectives. They also help students identify with their own culture, introduce them to other cultures, and provide a safe way to open conversation about diversity (Colby & Lyon, 2004). Simply exposing children to multicultural literature is not enough to help them learn about and appreciate other cultures; thus the handbook was created. The handbook includes supplementary lessons that utilize multicultural literature to address multiculturalism. The books selected for the lessons were chosen by looking at a variety of sources. The lessons in the handbook are categorized by themes that serve as a way to unify cultures. The handbook also provides guidelines that can be used to help determine what books to choose, or teachers can instead refer to the bibliography that was compiled for other multicultural children's books that teachers can utilize in their classroom.

Download or read book Cultural Journeys written by Pamela S. Gates and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2010-08-16 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As multicultural education is becoming integral to the core curriculum, teachers often implement this aspect into their courses through literature. However, standards and criteria to teach and promote active discussion about this literature are sparse. Cultural Journeys introduces pre-service and experienced teachers to the use of literature to promote active discussions that lead students to think about racial diversity. More than just an annotated list of books for children, Pamela S. Gates and Dianne L. Hall Mark provide systematic guidelines that teachers can use throughout their careers to evaluate multicultural literature for students in grades K-8. At the same time, the text leads the reader to a deeper understanding of how to use multicultural literature throughout the entire curriculum and not just during specially designated months or time periods. With the example unit plans and extensive annotated bibliography, this book is a valuable resource that pre-service teachers will utilize when they begin teaching and in-service teachers will reference repeatedly during their planning periods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A timeless classic that will enchant readers who love Jennifer L. Holm and Thanhhà Lại, about an immigrant girl inspired by the sport she loves to find her own home team—and to break down any barriers that stand in her way. Shirley Temple Wong sails from China to America with a heart full of dreams. Her new home is Brooklyn, New York. America is indeed a land full of wonders, but Shirley doesn't know any English, so it's hard to make friends. Then a miracle happens: baseball! It's 1947, and Jackie Robinson, star of the Brooklyn Dodgers, is a superstar. Suddenly Shirley is playing stickball with her class and following Jackie as he leads the Brooklyn Dodgers to victory after victory. With her hero smashing assumptions and records on the ball field, Shirley begins to feel that America is truly the land of opportunity—and perhaps has also become her real home.

Download or read book Critical Multicultural Analysis of Children's Literature written by Maria José Botelho and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-05-07 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Children’s literature is a contested terrain, as is multicultural education. Taken together, they pose a formidable challenge to both classroom teachers and academics.... Rather than deny the inherent conflicts and tensions in the field, in Critical Multicultural Analysis of Children’s Literature: Mirrors, Windows, and Doors, Maria José Botelho and Masha Kabakow Rudman confront, deconstruct, and reconstruct these terrains by proposing a reframing of the field.... Surely all of us – children, teachers, and academics – can benefit from this more expansive understanding of what it means to read books." Sonia Nieto, From the Foreword Critical multicultural analysis provides a philosophical shift for teaching literature, constructing curriculum, and taking up issues of diversity and social justice. It problematizes children’s literature, offers a way of reading power, explores the complex web of sociopolitical relations, and deconstructs taken-for-granted assumptions about language, meaning, reading, and literature: it is literary study as sociopolitical change. Bringing a critical lens to the study of multiculturalism in children’s literature, this book prepares teachers, teacher educators, and researchers of children’s literature to analyze the ideological dimensions of reading and studying literature. Each chapter includes recommendations for classroom application, classroom research, and further reading. Helpful end-of-book appendixes include a list of children’s book awards, lists of publishers, diagrams of the power continuum and the theoretical framework of critical multicultural analysis, and lists of selected children’s literature journals and online resources.
