Gaius Anighoro Dr. Weinberg CI 401 10/24/2023 Part 2: "El Principito" (The Little Prince) by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry can greatly motivate, engage, and enable students. The themes can motivate students by getting them to use their imaginations and encouraging them to look at life’s mysteries. The story engages students and sparks their creativity. Universal themes like friendship and love make the story relatable to students from diverse backgrounds. For language learners, the book offers an opportunity to practice Spanish and develop language skills. The book can also be used for creative activities and that can allow students to express their thoughts and interpretations. Overall, "El Principito" is a good educational tool that motivates through exploration and creativity. Through the universal themes it can engage language skills, critical thinking, and creative expression. Part 3: What strategies do you use to promote discussions about diversity and inclusion using the texts in your classroom library? Ms. Lopez spoke about giving students the space to interpret readings and ask questions. While she asks questions, she also tries to guide her students towards what the text and the plot is trying to teach them. She likes to emphasize plots and themes. How do you approach selecting books for your classroom library in terms of diversity and representation? Ms. Lopez spoke about choosing books and stories where characters reflect and look like the students in the class she is teaching. She is in a bilingual Spanish speaking class. She understands that students learn better when characters and stories they read reflect the life they are living. Have you noticed student engagement or understanding changes when exposed to diverse texts? Ms. Lopez spoke about how most books in the library are Spanish. She let me know that students respond well to stories that are in Spanish and even the students who didn’t speak Spanish enjoyed and responded well to those books.

Gaius Anighoro Dr. Weinberg CI 401 10/24/2023 How do you address potential challenges or concerns from community members or administrators regarding including diverse texts? Ms. Lopez stated that she doesn’t really face those challenges but if she did she would have conversations with parents or administration to see how they felt and also express her feelings as well.
