Hello everyone,
My name is Tiffany and I am a junior at Michigan State University. My major is elementary education, as well as language arts. I am very interested in diverse literature because I want to fit the needs of each individual student when I become a teacher. I think it is very important to have a variety of books with different backgrounds of cultures and ethnicities because students need to relate to books in some way, as well as learn about someone else that is different from them. I just want to make sure that I use the right books the right way without using stereotypes, unless I could use stereotypes to teach my students about the subject. Looking forward to learning more about diverse literature! :)
