Lit 3321 Tue Thurs Hello all it's Karen again I finally think I'm ready to actually do this thing. I guess only time will tell. In class today the lecture was talking about cultural diversity. Since I don't have my book yet I downloaded onto my flash drive from the internet some information on cultural responsiveness. I looked up some of the authors who are culturally responsive so that I could post some suggestions for whoever would like to look into their work. All you have to do to access the info on cultural responsiveness is google that cultural responsiveness. Some of the authors that stood out to me Sandra Cisneros she wrote the book "Hair / Pelitos." In this book a girl describes the family's hair. Another author Gary Soto wrote a book called :
" Too Many Tamales" In which a girl thinks she has lost her grandmothers wedding somewhere in the mix. I tried to cover a couple of cultures and this book sounded interesting as well . It is called "Hoang Breaks the Lucky Teapot". this book is written by Rosemary Breckler. I think these books will make all children realize and understand some of the interesting cultural differences that are represented. I think it will help some children feel more validated than they would without these offerings. I will try to cover all the diversities in my class and have at least a few of them for each of the groups or individuals. Have a Blessed Evening!
