Teaching Global Literature in Elementary Classrooms

A Critical Literacy and Teacher Inquiry Approach

Beschreibung

Demonstrating the power of teaching global literature from a critical literacy perspective, this book explores the ways that K-6 educators can infuse diverse texts into their classrooms and find support for their endeavours in teacher inquiry communities. Through carefully analyzed, ethnographically informed portraits of classroom life alternating with teachers' own accounts of their teaching and learning experiences, it shows how students are moved to question, debate, and take action in response to global texts.
