“The Name Jar”

Select a multicultural book that you think would be effective with ELL students and record/write a reader response log, first giving basic information about the book (title, author, illustrator, setting, characters, plot, etc.) and then responding to it, indicating why you selected the piece, the context in which you would use it, and reading and writing activities you might assign in relation to it. When selecting your piece of multicultural literature, consider what you heard in either of the powerful TED Talk videos.
