I teach a multicultural studies class that was started 3 years ago with only 15 students and has now grown into three classes with over 90+ students. We do not have a set textbook for this class, and trying to buy materials for this class has become expensive. The class focuses mostly on racial issues, but also deals with women's issues, religious toleration, sexual orientation and the development of these 9-12 graders' leadership skills. I try to use different books and stories to focus the class discussion on tolerance and acceptance so my students can better understand the world and people around them.
