The need forCulturally Responsive teaching:“… culturally responsive teaching is going to where the students are culturally and linguistically for the aim of bringing them where they need to be academically. It is a process for validating and affirming the indigenous cultures and languages of the students for the purposes of building and bridging them to academic success. Culturally responsive teaching is therefore meant for all students, not just African American students.

Mem Fox

“Everything we read, from sexist

advertisements and women’s magazines to romance novels and children’s books, constructs us, makes us who we are, by presenting our image of ourselves as girls and women, as boys and men.

We who write children’s books, and we whoteach through literature, need to be sure weare opening doors to full human potential,not closing them.”

Page 5: Bexley Multicultural Class #5

"One of the major goals of my work

and my life … is to help foster

understanding and respect for each other—whatever

our nation, race, or gender—and for all

life upon this Earth." Joseph

Bruchac

Five Phase Approach to Multicultural

Literature (Norton, 2005)

• Phase One: Traditional Literature

• Identify distinctions among folktales, myths and legends.

• Identify ancient stories that have common features and that are found in many regions.

• Identify types of stories that dominate a subject.

• Summarize the nature of oral language, the role of traditional literature, the role of an audience and the literary style.

Page 7: Bexley Multicultural Class #5

Phase Two: Traditional Tales from One Area

• Analyze traditional myths and other story types and compare findings with those in Phase One.

• Analyze and identify values, beliefs and themes in the traditional tales of the region.

Page 8: Bexley Multicultural Class #5

Phase Three: Historical Nonfiction

• Analyze nonfiction for the values, beliefs and themes identified in traditional literature.

• Compare adult autobiographies and children’s biographies. (if possible)

• Compare information in historical documents with autobiographies and

biographies.

Page 9: Bexley Multicultural Class #5

Phase Four: Historical Fiction

• Evaluate historical fiction according to the authenticity of the conflicts, characterizations, settings, themes, language, and traditional beliefs.

• Search for the role traditional literature plays in historical fiction.

• Compare historical fiction with autobiographies, biographies, and historical information.

Page 10: Bexley Multicultural Class #5

Phase Five: Contemporary Literature

• Analyze the inclusion of any beliefs and values identified in traditional literature and nontraditional literature.

• Analyze contemporary characterization and conflicts.

• Analyze the themes and look for threads that cross the literature.

From Against Borders Hazel Rochman

“The best books break down borders.

They surprise us - whether they are set close to home or abroad.

They change our view of ourselves.

They extend that phrase “like me” to include what

we thought was foreign and strange.”

Page 12: Bexley Multicultural Class #5

Hazel Rochman …

“ … people don’t come to America blank.

Their memories and stories andpoetry stay with them and enrichus all, even as new experienceschange them, and they changeus.”

Each year, September 8th marks the celebration of literacy and learning internationally. International Literacy Day (ILD)was proclaimed by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) on November 17, 1965 and was first celebrated in 1966.Literacy is more than reading and writing– it is about how we communicate as a society. It is about social practices and relations, about knowledge, language and culture. (United Nations)

3 Stage Transformative Teaching/Learning Model

Stage 1: InformationTeacher delivers information = THE BOOK

Stage 2: IntegrationTeacher and students interact to create relevancy = EXPERIENCE

Stage 3: TransformationTeacher and students interact to create solutions to identified

local or global needs = ACTION

Page 24: Bexley Multicultural Class #5

“The goal for students at any grade level is to naturally move through a world that recognizes, celebrates and respects people and culture from all over the world. Make sure that each one of your students can find themselves in the pages of a book in your classroom library.

Eventually the goal is one of not talking about global literature, orinserting it into the curriculum. The goal is to fully live in a global society. Using quality global literature is a starting point for both learning and living.”

Winter Home

We build our bedsinside this barn,with shreds of cloth,old rags, twine. A roomwhere we can winter-dineto chime of ice, by windows fullof snowflake art. With dreams of crumb,cracker, tart, inside this oldwind-whistling place, this coldand tiny mousekin space,we cuddle to chasethe chill away,imagining an April day.
