TRRC Presentation - Multicultural Children's Literature
This is the talk I gave to the Tar River Reading Council of Pitt County, NC, about multicultural children's literature. The main idea is that all texts send messages, so as teachers we should be sure those messages are as inclusive as possible of our students and our world. Using Rudine Sims Bishop's definition of multicultural children's literature and her concept of how books can be both windows into the lives of others and mirrors to reflect back our own stories, I share information, recommendations, and arts-based instructional approaches with multicultural children's literature that teachers can use in their classrooms.
Multicultural Literature: Overview and Assignment
The document discusses multicultural literature and its importance in education. It defines multicultural literature as works that portray non-white racial and ethnic groups in the US. It highlights four major ethnic groups represented in multicultural literature and explains how such works can enhance understanding of diversity, provide varied perspectives, and affirm cultural identities for minority students. The document also provides guidance on evaluating the cultural authenticity of multicultural literature.
Analyzing Multicultural Literature
This document discusses frameworks for analyzing diversity and inclusion in multicultural literature featuring dragons. It presents two continuums: one measuring diversity to homogeneity, and another measuring "something" to "nothing". "Something" refers to culturally unique, locally meaningful content, while "nothing" means shallow, impersonal content. A matrix crosses these, with examples like folktales in the "something for somebody" quadrant versus generic stories in the "nothing for nobody" quadrant. The document cautions against absolute judgments and encourages considering diverse elements even in otherwise homogeneous texts.

2016 Fan Studies conference paper on Three Stages of Fandom
Outside of the Royal Hospital of St Bartholomew in London, fans of the television show Sherlock have left notes and messages behind--but for whom? On the walls, on the windows, and on a nearby telephone box, fans have left notes, musings, art, and hashtags.
Over the course of several years, fan participation has moved through three distinct phases. First, this participation was aimed squarely at content producers; namely, these fans spoke
directly to Steven Moffat and Mark Gattis in their writings and art, asking that the producers alter the show and respond to the fans. The second stage of these writings revolved around fans acknowledging each other as a community, leaving behind tumblr
links, hashtags, and responses as if asking to connect with each other. The third stage of participation relied heavily on fan fiction, with many of the notes discussing shipping (Johnlock), crossovers (Wholock), and sketches of fan art.
In effect, St. Bart’s has become a place where fans have created a space of participatory memory for themselves and their Sherlock fandom. Observing and analyzing their work over the past several years has made these three stages visible. For while the space is not sanctioned by the government or the producers of Sherlock, it has become an area where fans have agency to congregate, write, and respond.

Historical Thinking Skills in the 21st Century
This document outlines goals and strategies for teaching historical thinking skills in the 21st century.

Spaces of/as Participatory Memory
At locations across the globe, people are creating impromptu spaces to memorialize and celebrate events. From the peace walls of Belfast to the memorials left after 9/11 in New York City, participants are writing on walls, leaving notes, and placing mementos on chain-link fences. While these spaces are outside of any officially sanctioned monument, they serve as a way for people to participate in memory-making activities.
Paris is a city where memory-making takes places in public cemeteries (in particular, at the grave sites of Jim Morrison and Oscar Wilde, which are literally covered in mementos) and on bridges (where lovers cover the chain-link fences with locks engraved with their names), the location where Princess Diana's fatal car crash occurred is of particular interest because of its international participation and resilience. While the immediate, overwhelming sense of mourning in 1997 was enormous, there are still participants who make pilgrimages to the site and participate in the space today, inscribing the space with writings in various languages, colors, and textures. Composing on the concrete slabs that surround the bridge above the tunnel where the crash occurred, these participants write of her loss, their shared grief, and their recovery. Examining this space in particular, we can discuss the writings of these participants, the spaces they inhabit, and the need for preserving and curating their participation.
Cultural Studies
The document discusses different types of culture, including British cultural materialism, American multiculturalism, and Asian American writers. British cultural materialism began in the 1950s and examines how culture reproduces social relations. American multiculturalism emerged in the 1960s to recognize distinct immigrant identities and celebrate racial/ethnic heritages. It includes African American, Latinx, American Indian, and Asian American writers.

Literary Theories: Diaspora Literature, Queer Theory
This document summarizes two literary theories: diaspora theory and queer theory. Diaspora theory examines literature by populations forced to leave their homelands, such as Jews living outside Israel. It has expanded to include voluntary migration for opportunities. Queer theory rejects traditional gender and sexuality categories, studying mismatches between sex, gender, and desire. It focuses on bisexuality, lesbianism, gayness, cross-dressing, and transsexuality. Both theories examine how non-normative groups face societal problems and aim to show that homosexuality is normal.

Multicultural children's literature_gavriilidis sofia-2011
This document discusses definitions and approaches to multicultural children's literature. It examines how such literature often uses common narrative schemas and stereotypes in depicting "the other", including an initial refusal of acceptance by the dominant group, testing of the other to prove their value, and eventual acceptance. While intending to promote diversity and cultural acceptance, these works sometimes undermine those goals by superficial or simplistic treatment of issues.

Culture is shared experiences, values, and traditions that create a sense of community. It influences behaviors and thought patterns. When different cultures interact, there can be issues like ethnocentrism, stereotyping, and miscommunication due to varied concepts of appropriate behavior, attitudes, and language. As teachers, it is important to understand each student's individual cultural identity, keep open communication, make all students feel respected and safe, and address one's own biases. Teachers should use a variety of strategies, like incorporating the arts, to encourage critical thinking about social and cultural issues.

The document summarizes Bhikhu Parekh's views on conceptualizing human beings and understanding culture from his book Rethinking Multiculturalism. Parekh critiques relativism, monism, and minimum universalism as frameworks for understanding morality across cultures. He advocates for pluralist universalism, where universal moral values emerge from cross-cultural dialogue and creative interplay between cultures. Parekh also argues that a culturally plural society is preferable to a homogenous one, and that while all cultures deserve basic respect, they are not equally worthy and do not merit equal respect.
Native American Lit
Native American literature originated from the oral traditions of the hundreds of Native cultures that already inhabited North America when European explorers arrived. Their stories, including creation myths and legends, were passed down verbally from generation to generation to both record history and explain natural phenomena from their perspective.

Concept of classroom management
Classroom management involves organizing students, time, space, and resources to create an effective learning environment. It aims to encourage positive behavior and involvement in learning while reducing disciplinary issues. Effective classroom management requires teachers to plan lessons around clear objectives and assessments, supervise students with instructions and rules, and control the classroom to ensure active participation. It also involves building relationships with students and reflecting on lesson effectiveness.
Learning environment and play

An effective environment encourages discovery, independence, and hands-on learning. It also discusses Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory which emphasizes the interaction between a child and their various social systems, from immediate surroundings to broader cultural influences. Play is identified as an important part of the learning process, as it allows children to develop physically, intellectually, emotionally and socially in a relaxed setting.

Week 4 selection criteria of texts for young
When selecting texts for young learners, educators should choose materials that are engaging and appropriately challenging for their age, elicit thoughtful responses, and use language effectively. The texts should include visual elements that help illustrate the story, cover topics relevant to students' lives and experiences, broaden cultural understanding, and teach moral values through relatable stories.
Week 3 elements of children’s literature
The document discusses key elements of children's literature, including plot which follows an exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and resolution sequence of events. Characters are developed through their actions, descriptions from others, and personalities. Setting helps visualize events and includes place and time with verisimilitude. Theme conveys explicit and implicit underlying ideas while style uses word choice and arrangement to set mood.
Week 2 pedagogical principles of teaching young learners
Young learners are influenced by their intelligence across spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, and intrapersonal domains as well as their aptitude, or ability to quickly learn and succeed. Their learning styles, personality, motivation, identity, beliefs, and age of acquisition also impact learning. Factors that motivate young learners include their ability to identify and memorize new words, understand word functions, figure out grammar rules, and memorize vocabulary while factors that can de-motivate include their natural ways of absorbing information and traits like extroversion.
introduction to children’s literature
The document introduces children's literature and defines it as reading materials chosen by adults as suitable for young readers. It notes characteristics like being simplistic, straightforward, and repetitive with happy endings. It explores different fiction and non-fiction genres used in children's literature. It discusses how readers experience literature through a transactional process where the text stimulates thoughts and ideas based on their experiences. It also discusses how transitions occur as reading skills develop and interests change genres. Finally, it outlines personal and academic benefits of literature for children like understanding human nature, encouraging open-minded thinking, and increasing language skills.
Learning theories
1. The document outlines four perspectives on learning and teaching: behaviorism, humanism, cognitivism, and social constructivism.
2. Behaviorism focuses on conditioning and reinforcement, humanism emphasizes self-actualization and student-centered learning, cognitivism looks at mental processes and schema, and social constructivism sees learning as an active social process.
3. Each perspective defines the learner and teacher roles differently. Behaviorism sees the learner as passive and the teacher as the provider of reinforcement. Humanism views the learner as self-motivated and the teacher as a facilitator. Cognitivism and social constructivism both involve active, engaged learners and teachers
Teaching methods methodology
The document discusses several language teaching methods, outlining their key principles, features, and the roles of teachers and learners. The methods covered include:
1) Grammar-translation - Focuses on reading, writing, and memorizing grammatical rules. Translation is used and the first language is the medium of instruction.
2) Direct method - Aims to think directly in the target language through discussion and reading without translation. Oral skills are emphasized.
3) Audio-lingual method - Uses repetition of dialogues and drills to form habits. Oral skills are developed through imitation and reinforcement.
4) Silent way - Uses visual aids like rods to help students accurately pronounce
Krashen's hypothesis
1. According to Krashen's input hypothesis, language acquisition occurs when learners are exposed to language that is comprehensible and only slightly above their current level of proficiency.
2. The affective filter hypothesis posits that affective factors like motivation, anxiety, and self-confidence can act as a filter that inhibits language acquisition. Learners with high motivation and self-confidence are more likely to acquire a second language.
3. The acquisition-learning hypothesis distinguishes between implicit, subconscious acquisition that occurs in informal contexts versus explicit, conscious learning that occurs in formal instructional settings.
Comparison between lexical and eclectic approach
The lexical approach and eclectic approach to language teaching both focus on vocabulary acquisition but differ in their methods. The lexical approach concentrates on developing learners' proficiency with lexis or words through meaningful contexts. In contrast, the eclectic approach draws from multiple theories and techniques, including the lexical approach, to address learners' diverse needs and styles through a variety of activities. Both approaches aim to make language learning more engaging, effective and tailored to learners.
Krashen
Krashen's hypotheses on second language acquisition include: 1) Adults acquire language similarly to children through implicit acquisition rather than explicit learning; 2) There is a natural order of acquisition that is not based on grammar sequencing; 3) Acquisition initiates utterances while learning acts as an editor under certain conditions like time and focus; 4) Language is acquired through comprehensible input above one's current level; 5) Factors like motivation and anxiety affect the "affective filter" and one's ability to acquire language through input. Teaching should provide optimal comprehensible input to lower the affective filter while learning is restricted to certain rules, people, and situations.
