Finding Diversity in Excellent Children's Literature (PreK-8) TEED629N
This course examines issues of diversity in children's literature and
how excellent literature can help children learn about differences among
people, including ethnicity, race, language, gender, class, economic
status, sexual orientation, and ability. In addition to identifying and
defining the characteristics of a literature of inclusion, topics
include  "extra-literary" considerations such as omissions and
distortions in text and pictures, helping children respond to
literature, the issues involved, and how to find the best multicultural
literature.
