OR In your classroom, what literature experiences that feature Muslim culture and characters do you provide for students? OR If you are not yet in the classroom, what instructional ideas/aspirations do you have in this area? en-us 2019-02-14 02:28:22 UTC 2019-02-14 22:39:09 UTC hello@padlet.com I don't think we had any significant reading experiences with literature that featured Muslim culture in my K-12 education. My goal would be to change that for my students. I might use some of the titles listed on pg 194 and 195 of teaching globally. https://padlet.com/DrKSmith/ew1llpawfbj8/wish/331554600 2019-02-14 22:36:55 UTC https://padlet.com/DrKSmith/ew1llpawfbj8/wish/331554600 Complete Persepolis https://padlet.com/DrKSmith/ew1llpawfbj8/wish/331554603 This isn't something that I read in K-12 but rather in College. However, I think that this would work great in the classroom. It is in the format of a black and white graphic novel so that is something different and really cool. I will include a link to a description of the book.]]> 2019-02-14 22:36:55 UTC https://padlet.com/DrKSmith/ew1llpawfbj8/wish/331554603 Persepolis https://padlet.com/DrKSmith/ew1llpawfbj8/wish/331554705 I am Malala

But nothing in K-12]]> 2019-02-14 22:37:22 UTC https://padlet.com/DrKSmith/ew1llpawfbj8/wish/331554705 I don't think we've read any literature on Muslim culture, sadly https://padlet.com/DrKSmith/ew1llpawfbj8/wish/331554794 2019-02-14 22:37:41 UTC https://padlet.com/DrKSmith/ew1llpawfbj8/wish/331554794 None https://padlet.com/DrKSmith/ew1llpawfbj8/wish/331554870 We didn't have any in my k-12 experience that I can remember. I encountered a lot in college. About 1/4 of my students are Somali, so I am always finding ways to connect with them, but it has been difficult at times]]> 2019-02-14 22:38:02 UTC https://padlet.com/DrKSmith/ew1llpawfbj8/wish/331554870
