In a semester, my students study literature from six separate cultures. Each culture is showcased by a text and Drown by Junot Diaz and Milk & Honey by Rupi Kaur will both be used to represent their respective cultures. These two texts are the texts that my students will probably most engage with this year as their cultures are represented in them. I have a large population of Dominican students and a large population of students who wish to write poetry. Giving minority students access to texts that represent them will foster a love for literature in them. I think it is important for students to see themselves in the literature that they read. Having these two books would ensure that my students feel represented in the classroom this semester.
