Abstract
-
This professional project outlines the creation of a comprehensive high school English curriculum focused on promoting diversity and inclusivity through literature. The curriculum features eight units, each addressing significant literary gaps by incorporating voices and perspectives traditionally marginalized in the literary canon: Native American Literature, Intersectional Feminist Literature, Travel Literature, Dystopian Literature Rooted in Non-Western Culture, LGBTQ+ Literature, Environmental Literature, Graphic Novels, and Spoken Word Poetry. The project emphasizes critical thinking, empathy, and cultural awareness, aiming to foster a deeper understanding of diverse experiences and social issues. Additionally, detailed lesson plans ensure that the curriculum meets diverse learning needs. Ultimately, this project reflects a commitment to creating dynamic and meaningful educational experiences that empower students and prepare them for an increasingly diverse and complex world.
