3321 T/R Ok, to clarify that blog that says Wed was actually for Tuesday I tried to set up a blog through gmail but Professor Pickett said it would be better if I stuck to my original one everyone has access to.so .I copied and pasted tuesdays from my other blog O.k. till next blog God Bless you.

Lit 3321 Tue Thurs Hello all it's Karen again I finally think I'm ready to actually do this thing. I guess only time will tell. In class today the lecture was talking about cultural diversity. Since I don't have my book yet I downloaded onto my flash drive from the internet some information on cultural responsiveness. I looked up some of the authors who are culturally responsive so that I could post some suggestions for whoever would like to look into their work. All you have to do to access the info on cultural responsiveness is google that cultural responsiveness. Some of the authors that stood out to me Sandra Cisneros she wrote the book "Hair / Pelitos." In this book a girl describes the family's hair. Another author Gary Soto wrote a book called :" Too Many Tamales" In which a girl thinks she has lost her grandmothers wedding somewhere in the mix. I tried to cover a couple of cultures and this book sounded interesting as well . It is called "Hoang Breaks the Lucky Teapot". this book is written by Rosemary Breckler. I think these books will make all children realize and understand some of the interesting cultural differences that are represented. I think it will help some children feel more validated than they would without these offerings. I will try to cover all the diversities in my class and have at least a few of them for each of the groups or individuals. Have a Blessed Evening!

Lit 3321 Tue Thur O.k guys this is Karen Rodriguez. I just wanted to let everybody in class know I changed My URL for the blogs it is now: lovinlitatscool7@gmail.com Just in case anybody wants to follow my blog. Everybody have a great evening! I'm going to move on to this new blog address.

This is a continuation from Saturday's blog. I haven't been able to import the pictures of the books. I'm either doing something terribly wrong or my computer is such a dinosaur it's pitiful! well anyway, I started out last night trying name some authors but when I saved it I could no longer post it when I got back. I have now started all over. The first author I found that covers the dealing with loss subject matter is Sara Dressen. Her book "Along for the Ride" is one that deals with the subject of going on after the loss of a good friend. The second author I want to name is Patricia Polacco She covers two deaths in the book " Thank You Mr. Faulker" with an ingenious metaphor Letting go of the grass. I think it could give children a hope of reunion. The third author I would like to name is E.B White the author of "Charlotte's Webb.'' This is a very good book that covers the sadness of losing a loved one. The good thing is the emphasis that is placed on the generation to come.and how Wilber looks at Charlotte's children and treats them so special. I know it seems like a drab subject to cover. Unfortunately, death is a fact of life and we all come in contact with it at one time or another. II think this would be helpful for students going through it and therapeutic for the others in the future. On a lighter, funnier note I'm going to get some help so I can learn to import pictures. I got them into my pictures folder,but that was as far as they would go.
