A world full of Strangers

Down These Mean Streets by Piri

Talk about the main multicultural elements that are integrated into both stories. Use these questions as a guide:

2) What do you notice about the use of "language" in the story? Does the author use "trans language"? What does the author want to convey by using different languages throughout the story?

3) What can you tell about the author's feelings throughout the story?

4) Why is it important to teach multicultural literacy in school?

5) How does the counter-narrative humanize the characters of a story? How can this help us to fight racism and power?
