Daily Reading for 1-23

I agree with the authors that schools and teachers need to implement more culturally revelent texts into the curriculum. Students naturally are more interested in readings they can relate with and understand. I like the idea of having the students answer the rubric with the teacher. I think the students would participate more knowing their opinions would shape future readings. It is also important to expose students to readings that are not culturally revelent and teach them how to view other cultures without bias.
