5 tools for your Culturally Responsive Writing Centers

The purpose of a Culturally Responsive Writing Center is to increase the level of engagement for your students.  You can set up a little nook in your classroom where students go to write narratives and responses to culturally responsive images.

Include the following items:

1) Teacher-Student exchange journals

2) Family photos that students can use to create stories

3) Cultural Objects that represent the students ( You may send a letter home and ask students to collect items that represent traditions and family values.)

4) Quotes from famous minority figures
