Diversity Through Books
For this year’s Read Across America I curated a list and virtual library of diverse books. This year’s book list includes those with topics on social events like immigration and equality, those whose main characters are from underrepresented groups, and those that give voice to the voiceless (Lewis, 2019). In doing so we become aware or “Woke,” thus renaming our event Read ‘Woke’ Across America. These titles are available through San Antonio ISD library resources or the publisher’s media channels. Students were able to access library resources through Classlink, which includes Follet’s Online Catalog and the SORA app. Teachers also have individual accounts to Epic books and students have access through their accounts.
