Many of my students come from a background that is not very diverse. In fact, many of them have never even visited our nearest major city. One way that I can help to foster diversity in my classroom is by providing diverse literature.
Seeing the world through another's eyes builds empathy for others, and students can do that through reading and discussing literature. I hope to create literature circles around a diverse number of verse novels that are approachable and manageable for even my most reluctant readers. My hope is that this will foster meaningful discussions and empathetic perceptions of the world around my students, and all the people in it.
