In the times we are living in, teachers need diverse books more than ever. According to research, our automatic responses to race, gender, age, and other identifiers are triggered by negative and positive associations without us being aware of them. In my 3rd grade classroom I want to strive to maintain a conscience awareness of this through my choices and uses of literature. I will use diverse, multicultural picture books as the basis for my fall unit. They are valuable teaching tools that reinforce or counter negative stereotypes. Picture books connect to our work in building an inclusive community and teaches our students that one part of any story or identity cannot tell the WHOLE story. I want to choose texts that feature main characters of color with other underrepresented identities.
