"How do teachers communicate the writing process to their students? Multicultural Connections walks readers through the creation of a fiction work, explaining literary elements, illuminating the writing process itself, and providing activities for strengthening student writing. From creating setting, plot, tone, and character to understanding how the whole work comes together, this book gives teachers practical ways to integrate multicultural literature into their classrooms. As students begin to value their own cultural backgrounds as elements in the writing process, their interest will increase, their writing voice will become more authentic, and the learning process will accelerate."--BOOK JACKET.
