Teachers should always be culturally responsive in any literacy they teach within their classroom. In my topic; writing instruction—I believe it should be taught culturally responsive as well. We as educators have the influence of displaying cultural competence in a cross-cultural or multicultural setting. Teachers that use this method encourage each student to relate course content to their cultural context. For example; life writing. “Life writing points us toward parallel histories and to people who spoke back to and resisted myths of their own times. It would be naive and dangerous to suggest that students, especially marginalized or undocumented individuals, are safe to share their stories in school. But education will continue to happen outside of the school-in homes, community centers, and other locations-and the texts through which this knowledge is communicated will take a variety of forms.” (Marshall, 1).
