Abstract
In this article, I share how I used young adult literature with my seventh grade students to foster critical thinking and curiosity and deepen students’ understanding of different cultures. The specific focus is the young adult novel, Brothers’ Keeper, and how I utilized a visual commentary project to support multilingual learners in my classroom. The purpose of the lesson is to model how young adult novels can not only tie to the curriculum, but how visual commentary can support the language development of multilingual learners through multimodal means.
