Final Project: Latino Literature

For my project, I want to focus on Latino/Latina children, and how they assimilate into a new culture (usually the American one), yet maintain their own language and culture. After searching for book reviews that pertained to my topic, I decided to go about it in two different ways.

First, I did a general search on Latina literature and found a few references to books within the article. This was helpful and led me in a direction to weed out a few books, and research some that I would potentially want to have in my classroom. My second tactic was to just go to the the library and check out a ton of books that seemed to be legitimate choices for not only my topic, but my classroom.

Now that I've set myself up with all of this information, I can't wait to dig into all of this material to offer up some suggestions for you on a topic that is rapidly growing in classrooms across America.
