    -Favorite resource: was the article by scholastic under Multicultural resources. 
    -Favorite book: George by Alex Gino.  I think it is a wonderful book that anyone of any age should read.

    I used Live Binder because it has become familiar to me through this course. I loved all of the website booklists as well as the book lists in our textbook. I loved all of the books I discovered by Arab American authors.]]>     2019-07-23 21:11:22 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/c3igxi4omhub/wish/372071456     Passport to Multicultural Literature by Whitney Chrisco wngrogan https://padlet.com/tsgruer/c3igxi4omhub/wish/372071703 *I used Livebinder because it was recommended and I had never created one before. I always enjoy learning new tech, but will say that I much prefer Google sites to this format and will likely transfer my information
    *I really like the We Need Diverse Books resource. I have liked them on facebook and love the most up to date articles. There are a vast number of resources linked to their site to help you find books on a wide variety of multicultural topics
    *My favorite book was Ron's Big Mission. I had never heard this story about astronaut Ron McNair as a child. He loved the library and reading books. He fought for his right to access by taking a stand to get a library card.

    I am glad I saw Anne's post - before I complain about Livebinder - I see I must add and tell you my access key!!

My favorite resource I was https://multiculturalchildrensbookday.com/. They had a tremendous amount of great information.  My favorite book was  Becoming Naomi Leon.]]> 2019-07-23 21:14:55 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/c3igxi4omhub/wish/372071767 Passport to Multicultural Literature by Robert Voss revoss https://padlet.com/tsgruer/c3igxi4omhub/wish/372071822 I used google slides to created my site. My favorite resources were the books that I got to look up and read. My favorite book was Rock and Roll Highway: The Robbie Robetson Story.]]> 2019-07-23 21:15:39 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/c3igxi4omhub/wish/372071822 Passport to Multicultural Literature by Meghan Brawley meghan_m_brawley https://padlet.com/tsgruer/c3igxi4omhub/wish/372072297 I used Pearltrees for my Passport because it is easier to set up for keeping live than a website, and I can embed it in another site (I embedded it in my literature log). It's not the prettiest interface, so I will probably move these resources at a later date, but it's good for curating.

    My favorite resource is probably the intersectionality video, or maybe all the book lists I found! Colorín Colorado is also a fantastic site.

    The favorite book I read was either The Night Diary by Veera Hirandani, which tells a story that's also part of my own husband's family history, or Julián is a Mermaid by Jessica Love. It's so cute and lovely!]]>     2019-07-23 21:20:00 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/c3igxi4omhub/wish/372072297     Passport to Multicultural Literature by Katie Winfrey klsands https://padlet.com/tsgruer/c3igxi4omhub/wish/372072473 I used the new google sites for my website. I liked it I think it is easy to use and navigate.
    My favorite resource was We Need Diverse Books website. I loved this website for the different videos they had and how easy it was to find information. They have an abundance of resources in one spot
    My favorite book was a Dont Touch My Hair by Sharee Miller. I liked it because the message is broader than just hair. It is about having boundaries and not letting people pass those boundaries. An important lesson for anyone to learn but especially young girls.]]>     2019-07-23 21:21:40 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/c3igxi4omhub/wish/372072473     Passport to Multicultural Literature by Madison Turner mbturner1 https://padlet.com/tsgruer/c3igxi4omhub/wish/372072491
    I chose to use live binder because after using it for the literature log, I really started to enjoy the format of the site. 

    My favorite resource included in this project would be diverse books.org. This website has links to many articles, books and other resources that encourage diverse books.

    My favorite book that I included would have to be Wonder. It is such a classic. I read it in undergrad in a young adult literature class and fell I love with Auggie and his story.

Google Sites are also very customizable and it's easy to add in different picture, links, videos, etc. It was definitely the best option for what I wanted to do with my Passport. 

    My favorite resource was We Need Diverse Books because their main focus that every child should be able to see themselves in the pages of a book, making reading more relatable and comfortable is so important. 

    My favorite book was Amina's Voice by Hena Khan. Not only does this book focus on Muslim culture and issues, but also just on what it's like to be a young teenage girl going through normal middle school stuff! ]]>     2019-07-23 21:25:45 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/c3igxi4omhub/wish/372072795     Passport to Multicultural Literature by Jamie Staley jcstaley https://padlet.com/tsgruer/c3igxi4omhub/wish/372073332 I used Destiny Collections because I wanted to create something that my teachers would have access to easily.  I completed a Professional Development on this tool last year so by creating this in here, I am hoping to spark interest.

    My favorite resource that I found was Colours of Us because they provide a monthly list of multicultural books which I thought was great.  To me this made it really easy to keep this at the front of your mind if each month you are given a new list!

    I don't know that I had one favorite book, I just liked that because I connected this to Destiny, I was able to find all the books pertaining to African and Hispanic Americans already in my library.  I like that teachers can immediately see which book we already have that they can check out in print or as an ebook to use in their classrooms.

  • I chose a google site because I am very familiar with this platform and it is easily editable to add information and resources in the future. 
  • I have two favorite parts in this project.  The first is the book " The Survival Guide for Kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders".  We bought this book after our son was diagnosed with Autism.  We've used this book multiple times over the years to help us all tackle the challenges of having Autism.  My other favorite is the book "Ghost Boys."  I read this book last year and it definitely left a impression on me.  Besides being well-written, it is emotional, truthful, and touching.

    My favorite new resource that I found during this project is the I'm Your Neighbor-website.  It's dedicated to welcoming new Americans, and includes an extensive list of communities from around the world-check out the Muslim booklist.  This is a very easily searchable and intuitive website!
    My favorite book is "Under My Hijab," which talks about how 6 strong, capable Muslim women style their hijabs, told from a little girl's point of view.
    I chose Muslim children and children living in poverty as my two focus areas, since so many of my students fit one of those groups.

    My favorite resource would be the link to Goodreads. I enjoyed seeing recommendations and comments made throughout Goodreads. 

    My favorite book recommendation would be "Just Because" in the Disabilities tab. The book is sweet and is a wonderful story of acceptance. ]]>     2019-07-23 21:36:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/c3igxi4omhub/wish/372073680     Passport to Multicultural Literature- Beimnet Baissa https://padlet.com/tsgruer/c3igxi4omhub/wish/372073904 I used (new) google sites for my project. I chose it because I like the way google sites works, and my county also uses google sites, so I can transfer it easily if I want to.

    My favorite resource is the CCBC Advanced Book Finder because it's so easy to find books that fit specific criteria, if it exists. 

    I really enjoyed New Kid by Jerry Craft because it's a graphic novel, and it's funny, and I recommend it.

    My favorite book that I included was "Crown". I love this book and its message. I think it is truly a must read for all young men.

    My favorite resource was the different blogs that recommend multicultural books. I especially love the blog We Need Diverse Books. I think it is just a valuable resource. ]]>     2019-07-23 21:40:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/c3igxi4omhub/wish/372073960     Passport to Multicultural Literature by Candice Godfrey https://padlet.com/tsgruer/c3igxi4omhub/wish/372074802 Format: I used Google Sites because it is a format I have become familiar with. In addition, I tried others and got overwhelmed. I will go back to those when I have more time.
    Favorite Resource:  The Pragmatic Mom resource list was my favorite. This is because it is a huge resource. There are so many different topics and categories and each one has so many books. 
    Favorite Book: This is a hard choice. I liked every book I read for my multicultural passport. I think if forced to chose, my favorite would be The Girl Who Thought in Pictures: The Story of Temple Grandin by Julia Finley Mosea. I chose this book because it is extremely encouraging for those children who have a hard time focusing or functioning in the classroom like other children. However, Temple was still successful when given the resources she needed to succeed.

I chose it because I used it before for our group literature immersion projects as well as for my Award winning Books assignment and found it to be very simple to navigate as a creative and user. It is an intuitive format with multiple points for access for learners at different levels.

    My favorite resource was actually one I came in with because it's still very good for finding up to date resources for more than one age group, handy when working with learners at different reading levels. That is the NPR Book Concierge - an annual platform for book reviews that increasingly includes more diverse options and independent selections.

    My favorite book that I read for the Multicultural Passport was The First Rule of Punk by Celia C. Cruz. I found it to be a uniquely creative piece of literature incorporating musical diversity and graphic novel/picture book components in the form of zine segments between the text chapters. I highly recommend that one!

    My favorite resource is the website We Need Diverse Books because it has so many resources and information within it. 
    My favorite book was Ron's Mission. It has a great message and is engaging. I like that it is about an African American who isn't a sports figure or part of the civil rights movement since that's what seems to be the majority. It is based on a real person and I believe young black boys being able to see themselves in this story.

  • I chose to use Google Sites because I like the formatting/style of the site.  It is easy to navigate as well as easy to update and maintain for future use. 
  • One of my favorite resources was the website https://multiculturalchildrensbookday.com. It is a fabulous site that provides multiple comprehensive book lists and activities focusing on different topic areas. The site also highlights character education themes such as a "Kindness Kit" and "Empathy Kit" that includes books, activities and discussion guides. Excellent guide that lists book links that re-direct you to the book's site for more information and a detailed summary.
  • My favorite book is “I am Enough” by Grace Byers. It is a beautiful, must read picture book that reminds readers that they "are enough". Focusing on self-acceptance as well as appreciating the differences of those around us. And ultimately creating a world that is more loving and kind. It is so thoughtfully written and sweet!

    My favorite book was a toss-up between Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds and Undefeated:  Jim Thorpe and the Carlisle Indian School Football Team by Steve Sheinkin. Both were totally engrossing, powerful books--and got me excited to share them particularly with middle grade boy readers since they're reluctant to read--they're accessible and they're about topics they'd totally get into (and girls would too). Great premises for both (and one is fiction and one nonfiction). ]]>     2019-07-28 09:09:45 UTC https://padlet.com/tsgruer/c3igxi4omhub/wish/372475974
