So many of the books we traditionally read in an English class are by white, male authors. In an effort to bring diversity to my students, I want to do literature circles, where students can choose books written by authors that might look like them or might look different than traditional authors--from Asian-American authors like Gene Yang to African-American poets like Amanda Gorman.
