Multicultural:
By
definition multicultural genre is a cross-cultural form of literature that
includes books by and about peoples of all cultures. There are culturally
neutral books (that have some characteristics of cultures but remain neutral)
and culturally specific books (that incorporated details which vividly define
characters as members of a particular cultural group). It is important as a
classroom community to incorporate the melting pot theory, one that the
foundation of our country rests on in the daily usage of our classroom. It is
my goal as a teacher to infuse all cultures.
It is my goal
to ensure:
·
The books
I choose help children value their own heritage and also the understanding of
people with other backgrounds.
· Authenticity to the background and social
environment in which the story takes place.
· That
the quality of the literature is supported by a worthy theme.
