The best article I read this week
is “Urban Fiction and Multicultural
Literature

Tools for Preparing English Teachers for Diverse Classrooms” by Marcelle Haddix and Detra Price-Dennis (English Education, 45(3), April 2013). Please visit NOW to read my thoughts about it in terms of the writing angle. Please read the article itself to think about how (and why) you select texts to share with your students.
