Poetry can be found on billboards, in newspapers, magazines, commercials, and advertisements, just to name a few. Students simply have to be made aware of what poetry entails and how they are to go about finding it. Finding poetry promises the delight experienced with the most found treasures. This interaction of involving students and their interests is very important when dealing with an overall disliked subject. Many times, however, teachers over look their students' interests.
Multicultural literature is a topic of concern among many educators.
Women, people of color, and non-Europeans argue that the canonical texts have largely been written by white European males and thereby reflect a predominantly Eurocentric masculine consciousness. Because of the widening ethnic boundaries within classrooms, there is a great need for teachers to branch out and explore the ideas and literature of other cultures. As the classroom continues to grow and expand in diversity, so will the interests of the students. And in order to allow these youngsters to grow willingly, teachers need to be aware that there needs to be diversity in the material that they cover within their curriculum. Yes, there is always a need to meet certain state objectives, but over time, it is the hope of most educators that all education objectives will include diverse authors and works of literature.
