Classroom Material

Throughout the school year we will be reading a variety of genres. As the teacher I want to make sure the readings and material provided are as culturally diverse as possible. I will be providing genres written by diverse authors and stories featuring diverse characters. Not only will our classroom be inclusive but so will the material being provided. 

Rational

 

In the classroom I want to create a safe space where students are accepting of all the students in the classroom as well as in their community. Since I only get them in the classroom I want to really rely having on acceptance and inclusiveness in a way that helps them bring this mentality outside of the classroom and into the real world. I want the students to see that my classroom is a safe space to be expressive without judgement. This goes into my role as the teacher. I will do everything I can to see things from the student point of view and make my lesson with inclusiveness in mind. I want to choose material and lessons that not only make the young adolescents better students but also better humans overall. The ability that I have to do this is through the material that I choose for students to read. While it is important to choose primary sources it is also important for students to be exposed to different writers. While Edgar Allen Poe is a phenomenal poet I will also choose poet he does not offer much diversity but by having students read other work from Maya Angelou, it will bring a different and diverse perspective. What the students learn can have a huge impact on them as a person. Through inclusion students can hopefully have a different outlook and perspective through teacher guidance.
