Topic: Multi-cultural Literature

10-second review: What are the effects of reading multi-cultural literature? “When I began to read about other cultures, I felt doors opening on a world that was far greater than I had realized.”

Source: L Yep. English Journal (January 2005), 54. A publication of the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE).

Comment: Plenty of professional journals review recent multi-cultural books. Need to set up a reviewing committee in conjunction with the school's librarian. Teachers need to learn about available multi-cultural literature. RayS.
