Explore diverse cultures through literature while developing critical reading skills, cultural awareness, and appreciation for different perspectives through Caribbean and global texts.
The Multicultural Book Club engages Grade 5 learners in reading and discussing literature from Caribbean and global cultures. Students develop critical thinking skills while exploring themes, settings, and characters that reflect diverse cultural experiences and perspectives.
Stories, poems, and folktales from various Caribbean islands and authors
Literature from Americas (Maya, Aztec, Inca civilizations) and other cultures
Modern authors addressing current cultural themes and experiences
Folktales, myths, and legends from diverse cultural traditions
Encourage learners to think critically about cultural representation. Guide discussions about authentic vs. stereotypical portrayals, and help students understand how literature can both bridge and sometimes misrepresent cultural experiences.
