    Multicultural Literary Analysis: Tableaux

    My group reenacted this part from


    Elenas Serenade because it was
    the best scene to show that Elena
    was able to accomplish what she
    loves to do through determination
    and commitment.

    Reflection
    From reading the article, critical literacy encourages readers to
    analyze what is being read and can ultimately change the reader and their
    world. Instead of just the typical reading and writing, critical literacy
    incorporates critical thinking, questioning, and transformation of self or ones
    world. In teaching, it is crucial for a teacher to reflect and be aware of ones
    self and the world. Ignoring critical literacy hinders childrens ability to
    transform into thoughtful, cooperative, and active citizens of a democracy
    (McDaniel, 2004).
    I believe critical literacy and multicultural literature go hand in hand.
    Multicultural literature eliminates stereotypes and prejudices, helps students
    create cultural identity and increase academic success, and provides a

    perspective form different cultures around the world (Al-Hazza, 2008). To be


    able to evaluate and analyze multicultural books, one should have a strong
    sense of critical literacy skills. I was able to evaluate: Is it Passover Yet? by
    Chris Barash, When Christmas Feels Like Home by Gretchen Griffith, The Pot
    That Juan Built by Nancy Andrews-Goebel, and Black is Brown is Tan by
    Arnold Adoff. Critical literacy enabled me to evaluate this genre of literature
    to see if the culture is being portrayed accurately, researching about the
    author/time period, and analyze if the illustrations are free from stereotypes
    and generalizations.
