So today in my TE 401 lecture something interesting happened. We've been focusing on a particular author who writes a lot of multicultural books for children. According to the definition, she would be considered an outsider to many of the books that she writes. The author is Eve Bunting and today I got to discuss Going Home, A Day's Work, and Smokey Night. Anyways, while we were discussing the girl that reviewed my project that I recently blogged about said that she thinks about me when she reads books like this because my project taught her so much about the Insider/Outsider debate. I thought it was really cool that she actually remembered something about it. So AGAIN; I just want to thank you for giving me so much to reference through blogging and class discussion:) You guys are great!!!
The books we're focusing on are pretty good in terms of multicultural literature. The school I'm placed in actually did a school wide unit on Bunting books last year and she's gotten several awards for her work. The author herself doesn't have a website but I'm pretty sure you can find some good info if you Google: Eve Bunting.
Some of them include:
A Day's Work
Smoky Night
Cheyenne Again
Fly Away Home
Going Home
