For an assignment I'm doing in grad. class,I'm creating a reading = promotion program. The topic I've settled on is "A Reading = Smorgasbord." I intend to feature books which show diversity in a = positive light. Our school population (and district) is mainly = Caucasian , but we do have Hispanic and Russian and Ukrainian students, = as well as a Mennonite population. These are the main diversities, but = of course there are more. We do also have children of mixed race = families. Is that considered part of multiculturalism? I would think = it would be. I'd like to gather some really good authors and books. Leo and Diane = Dillion come to mind, as does Patricia Polacco and Tomie dePaola. Are = there any really good videos or author visits that emphasize diversity? = I've also thought of using folktales and legends from many lands to = study and showcase multiculturalism. When my second graders study = Native Americans and China and Egypt each year, I use lots of legends = and folk tales and the students love it. =20 I'd love to hear suggestions. Please include grade levels you feel a = story is appropriate to use with also.
