Our school is a microcosm of California’s diversity of wealth, language, ideologies, and ethnicities. This course promotes shared intellectual success, opportunities for community involvement, and varied perspectives on the social, political, and historical fabrics of California. Not only does this course promote diversity through literature, but it also invites students of all backgrounds and views to participate in a rigorous literary and writing experience that transcends cultural and racial stereotypes and fixed expectations concerning sense of place. It provokes an understanding of why there have been many forms of separation and conflict throughout California’s history between various groups and ideologies, but more importantly it will also convey the power and success of California’s people. instill awareness and a sense of belonging and participation for students as members of a unique community.

Living out the literature of John Steinbeck: In March the California Literature students take a culminating field trip to Steinbeck country. Reading East of Eden before this trip will make this an even fuller experience.

Because of the lack of funding this year in public education, our school wasn't able to support the addition of this text. It is our hope that through organizations like donors choose that we will be able to acquire enough books for students who won't be able to afford to purchase them on their own.

You will make a significant impact not only on the students in their experience reading this monumental piece of literature, but more importantly in their experience actually living out their reading during our visit to Steinbeck country.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
