Abstract
The project aims to answer how English language teachers can support writing using a multicultural text set to engage early elementary Multilingual Learners. The research focuses on the needs of Multilingual Learners, the benefits of engaging students in discussion and writing, and the positive impacts of sharing multicultural literature. Using culturally responsive literature, the project builds engagement in conversations and writing. The curriculum project is designed as a supplementary writing unit for Multilingual Learners. The project may foster relationships with the students and create a sense of belonging, with discussion points and writing prompts built into the 12-book text set for kindergarten and the 12-book text set for first grade. Although it is written with multilingual learners in mind, using multicultural literature also benefits all learners, broadening their worldviews.
