This workshop will focus on providing middle school ELA teachers with an overview of Asian American literature including memoirs, novels, and short stories. Several AAPI authors will be highlighted, and ways to introduce these authors and their work in an age-appropriate way will be presented. Points of consideration on how to choose appropriate literature with respectful AAPI representation will be offered. Educators will leave with ideas for classroom activities based on the literature discussed as well as a more extensive list of AAPI authors.

Facilitator: Dr. Dakashna Lang, TAAS Ambassador
