Last year my students were able to engage in productive conversations about race and immigration when we read books like "Front Desk" by Kelly Yang, and "Refugee" by Alan Gratz. These texts provided students with a reading experience that was not only entertaining but also thought-provoking. Students were truly engaged, which allowed me to provide appropriate support for reading comprehension, while we also taught one another about larger life lessons. By providing these novels I will not only have more materials to support reading comprehension, but I also will be able to address social-emotional learning. Additionally, by providing novels across a variety of genres, I am hoping to reach as many readers in my classroom as possible. It is important for students to see that characters of color do not always need to be saving the world-- people of color can be riding dragons or dealing with middle school. I am hoping that this representation will help encourage a love of literature in the classroom. The novels from this project were selected not only based on their characters and themes, but also the authors. I ensured that the authors were people of color. I want to provide my students with authentic novels that properly portray the culture that is being discussed. I hope that this also encourages them to continue to pursue their unique talents and interests.
