Action! Lesson Plans for the Multicultural Classroom Take
Action! Lesson Plans for a Multicultural Classroom is for
all teachers striving to meet the needs of students in today's
diverse K-12 classrooms. Take Action! offers 27
practical step-by-step multicultural lesson plans organized around
seven microcultures: culture and identity, race and ethnicity,
abilities and disabilities, religion, socioeconomics and class,
language, and gender and sexuality.
Each
chapter includes three lesson plans at three different grade
levels (elementary, middle, and secondary). Each lesson plan is
presented with an accessible and predictable format, outlines the
content areas addressed, provides a recipe-stype list of materials for
all the activities in the lesson plan and action projects, and so much
more. Connections to national professional standards and benchmarks for
K-12 education as outlined by the Mid-continent Research for
Education Learning are also included in every lesson plan.

| Cuéntame:
Folklore y fábulas This collection of 12 stories represents the storytelling traditions of 7 Spanish-speaking countries. The stories come from rural and urban areas and from literature and oral traditions. Many of the stories are from indigenous sources and speak of concerns for the natural world, while others are fables with the intention of teaching a lesson. Despite the differences in language and geography, readers are likely to find similarities to well-loved fables from their own backgrounds. El cuento del cuento begins each story with cultural and geographical information. The Comencemos section sets the stage for the tale by preteaching vocabulary and structures. The Leemos section includes activities that focus on visual literacy tied to accompanying illustrations and the Discutimos section involves students in a review of the plot, expressing opinions and participating in a culminating activity or performance assessment.
