Six Cross-curricular Projects that Teach Literacy and Thinking Through Dramatic Play
'Covering The Curriculum With Stories' includes six dramas that deliver individual learning experiences. The dramas provide a fun framework for delivering curriculum content and key skills. They give children the opportunity to identify and develop their learning and thinking styles.
Thursday night I remember less clearly, except that my dreams after the dance

"Set in the lively and unpredictable landscape of East Oakland, Masha'allah and Other Stoires brings readers deep into the varied lives of remarkable individuals at the fringes of dominant culture. In each of these nine tales, Young invites us into the worlds of a diverse cast of genuine, hard-working people: we take a ride with a hired driver who gets more than he bargains for with an unusual fare; we meet a day laborer whose search for work leads him to the edges of human sacrifice; we join a plucky house cleaner named Chinta, who sets up impromptu beauty parlors in the houses she cleans.

I document the ways in which identities of my family are dynamic and changing in the context of our transnational journeys. The use of books as boundary objects situated at the intersection of geographic, cultural, and emotional boundary crossings may provide transnational families with dialogues to explore dilemmas and tensions. Finally, the process of recording family stories may serve international students and families as they become cultural and linguistic boundary crossers themselves.
