Let me introduce myself

My name is Kelly Mason. I am currently a senior at Michigan State University and I am studying Special Education, Leaning Disabilities. I love working with students and their energy for life that they often show. I currently work at a daycare, babysit, and volunteer.

Diverse Literature is important to me for many reasons. However, the most important reason for me is because it gives students from all different cultures and backgrounds a chance to see a reflection of themselves. It allows all students to be able to connect on a personal level with literature.
Some questions that I have and would like to explore this semester include:
  1. What are exceptional books to include in my diverse library?
  2. What books (or what qualities in books) if any should I not include in my diverse library?
  3. What are politically correct terms that should be used? Which shouldn't be used?
