We talk about the social responsibility of the author for the text to be culturally authentic and for the reader to be open-minded and not judgmental about cultures that differ from their own. #globaledchat

We pair U.S. novels or picturebooks with global books that have the same theme so kids can engage in both connection and difference and not just dismiss the books or see the global as strange. #globaledchat

#globaledchat We created this resource as a way to pair well known texts with global texts so teachers could expand the books kids were reading and comparing

@LongviewGlobal I am finding that many teachers feel constrained by the text exemplar lists within CCSS and they are not global or multicultural and are old, well known texts which may be good books but do reflect a global society

@LongviewGlobal Students respond out of their own cultural locations to the books they read and that's ok as long as they recognize they are doing this and don't judge based on their cultural beliefs

@LongviewGlobal For me it is Faith in The Lie Tree by Frances Hardinge because of her thirst for learning and inquiry, despite the obstacles she faces

This is Jennifer from @longviewglobal checking in! It has been a while since my last #globaledchat cohost. A character that I connect with is Reynie Muldoon from Mysterious Benedict Society. Reynie is average looking with average hair and average clothes.... I wish I were Kate!
