Books Offer Entry into Understanding Cultures.
Van Ausdell, Barbara Wass
Educational Leadership, v51 n8 p32-35 May 1994
Making classroom materials relevant to students is paramount for one Missouri high school English teacher. Since a relevant curriculum needs more than short stories and essays, she has incorporated books like Ngugi Wa Thiong'o's "Weep Not, Child," Kamala Markandaya's "Nectar in a Sieve," and Charles Dickens's "Tale of Two Cities" into a revitalized curriculum.
