It is very important to teach students about other cultures, no matter what population of students you have. Having a classroom library with diverse, multicultural books is a must for any classroom teacher.
This website has multicultural books lists and related websites for classroom teachers to use. They have lists including African America, Chinese American, Japanese American, Jewish American, Korean American, Hispanic American Native, and Native American. I am very excited that they just added a Middle Eastern list because that is the make-up of my classroom population.
By reading books based on your student's cultures, they are more likely to be engaged in reading and will be able to write connections related to their own lives.
