Reading the World in Schools Beyond the Canon PGL Summer Conference July 9, 2010 Carol Mendenhall, ELA Consultant Honor Moorman, English Dean, International School of the Americas
Welcome and Introductions: Where in the World is your literary dream living?
Listening for more than one story: opening up the canon of literature our students read. http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/chimamanda_adichie_the_danger_of_a_single_story.html

Resources for locating international literature : World of Words/International Collection of Children and Adolescent Literature    http://wowlit.org/   You will find many useful resources on this site for building bridges between cultures. These resources include multiple strategies for locating and evaluating culturally authentic international children’s and adolescent literature as well as ways of engaging students with these books in classrooms and libraries. PEN: A Global Literary Community  http://www.pen.org/   Weblist.me/beyond-the-canon  Multiple sites with international literature resources
Final Thoughts: If our students are to understand different cultures, become the global citizens we want them to be, then they should be given the opportunity to read books from around the world—fiction, memoirs, and non-fiction.  That starts with the decisions we make in our classrooms and we’re advocating a widening of the range of texts our students read—so they are indeed “reading the world” in our classrooms.
