Read Around the World
Track your class's reading on a world map. Every time a student reads a book set in a different country or featuring characters from a different culture, they add a pin (or sticker, or string) to the map. Set a class goal: can we "visit" every continent by the end of the year?
This turns reading into a collaborative game with a visual progress tracker. It also naturally pushes students toward diverse literature without it feeling like a mandate — they want to fill in the blank spots on the map, so they seek out books set in places the class hasn't "visited" yet.
Books for This
Books set in specific, identifiable locations. Pair with the representation pages and the cultural heritage life moment page for recommendations.
