Going Beyond the Book: A Multicultural Educator in the English Language Arts Classroom
Page, Michelle L.
Voices from the Middle, v12 n1 p8-15 Sep 2004
It's not enough to present students with multicultural literature. The potential impact of such literature stems from honest and deep discussion, and that can only take place in a room where respectful, trusting relationships have been built. The author offers principles and strategies for establishing those relationships, nurturing those discussions, and reaping productive results.
