Topic: Designing Frameworks that Connect Cultures in Literature Classrooms as a 20 minute presentation

Based on my book entitled The Fourth R, I create frameworks that connect cultures. Students possess qualities of memory based upon human every day experiences similar to those experiences within literary works they read. I play pod casts of sample student essays that show how students recall events or conditions based upon the relationship of reading to memory. One of my students recalls her own beliefs in mercy killing and relates her heritage based upon family and cultural beliefs in the right to life. Students use life story writing next to recount experiences that may help them find thesis.
