Cultural Journeys - Multicultural Literature for Elementary and Middle School Students

Informationen zum Autor By Pamela S. Gates and Dianne L. Hall Mark Klappentext As multicultural education is becoming integral to the core curriculum, teachers often implement this aspect into their courses through literature. However, standards and criteria to teach and promote active discussion about this literature are sparse. Cultural Journeys provides these guidelines through the age-appropriate fiction and non-fiction works embedded in the book. With the example unit plans and extensive annotated bibliography, this book is a valuable resource that pre-service and in-service teachers will utilize throughout their careers.
