These rich texts have been chosen with our specific students in mind. Each will enhance the literature and learning that takes place within our classrooms as historical fiction, memoirs, and realistic fiction. These authentic narratives work to build cross-cultural understanding of migration and immigration while being conducive to understanding of diverse communities. Through these texts, students will be exposed to stories of loss, war, bullying, language acquisition, humans’ search for resources, and the real struggles of cultural identity. Students learn about these rigorous and poignant concepts best though narratives where they can place themselves in the world of the character. Exploration of these topics will help students build stronger bonds between themselves and their broader communities. With these books, students will get more choice to pick narratives for book clubs that resonate with them. This classroom library will provide multiple book clubs the opportunity to walk alongside a Korean-American seventh-grader, a child forced to leave his home with the arrival of the Vietnam War, a boy choosing to flee from Nazi Germany, a girl whose family takes a raft to the United States to avoid riots in Cuba, a Syrian boy who flees his home country in 2015 to seek asylum in Europe, and a girl who leaves Mexico in the post-Revolutionary War era. Reading and studying these narratives will provide every student the chance to help them build understanding of empathy as they build connections amongst themselves and their broader communities. In addition, every student will have access to rich reading material that is at a just right level.
