Why did I decide to take TE 448? Well, the short answer is that I thought it would help to make me a better teacher. Why? Well it's giving me a greater awareness and appreciation for how I can incorporate multicultural literature into my classroom. I knew before taking the class that I would need to find diverse literature to use but taking this course, along with the topics covered in 348, is providing me with tools to help ensure that I choose quality works to include in my classroom.
Literature is one of the greatest ways to explore different cultures with students, but it will only be truly beneficial to them if the works used are quality pieces of fiction and help to steer them from forming stereotypes and opinions without justification.
