Divine N Promise Overview
Divine N Promise is a sequential six volume series that speaks to cultural values, educational motivation, peer pressure, racial and social challenges facing young people. It is written in several idioms such as Standard English, Black English, and contemporary youth dialect, as well as some conversational Spanish and African languages. The series uses a storytelling genre, and although the series is fiction it is a compilation of experiences of hundreds of youth who desired to have their stories told.
Goals and Objectives:
Literacy is a priority for student success. There is a need to address the gaps that challenge underserved youth regarding academic achievement. Most students from grade school through college do not read enough. As a researcher and educator dedicated to “the student point of view,” the author focuses on the necessity to “keep it real” for youth. Understanding the advantages of creative, cross cultural and global infusion into basic subjects, the series is designed to enhance reading motivation and assists transformation needs for 21st century education.
Each volume has a subtitle and features one of the following themes:
· Race
· Sex/Gender
· Class
· Ability
· Language
· Religion
The Ultimate Goal is that the series will serve as assigned reading curriculum. Guidelines for discourse between peers, parents, educators and local, national and international learning communities are incorporated through tool box strategies at the end of every volume and sign-up for scheduled technology chat room forums will be made available.
