What is your school district doing to promote
21st Century Learning Theme:
Global Awareness?
~ Preparing students to be global citizens is foremost among teachers' educational goals and is central to the teaching of social studies.
~ High quality trade books with multicultural and international themes can promote cultural and global awareness, which in turn advocates for peace and social justice.
Why use global literature?
~ Such literature allows teachers to select content about cultures and provide rich opportunities for students to analyze literature from multiple perspectives.
~ Teaching through multicultural and international literature in the classroom can bridge cultural gaps.

Mem Fox “Everything we read, from
sexist advertisements and women’s magazines, to
romance novels and children’s books,
CONSTRUCTS us, makes us who we are, by presenting our image of ourselves as girls and women, as boys and men.
We who write children’s books, and we whoteach through literature, need to be sure weare opening doors to full human potential,not closing them.”
“We are going beyond the four F’s:
FoodFashionFestivalsFolklore
(although some of the folk literatureselections on the lists are wonderful!)

“I have the rightto go to schoolwithout having to pay,so that I can learnhow birdsor planesor poppy seeds fly.”
“I have the right to liveunder a roof, to be warm
but not too hot, not to be poor and to have just enough of what I need, not more.”
“I have exactly the same right to be respected,whether I am black or white, small or big, rich or poor, born here or somewhere else.”
“I have the right to breathe clean airthat’s as pure as the blue skyor a newborn polar bear cub.
