Abstract:

The relationship between the Black and White Americans has often been tense and strained, often based upon available socioeconomic resources of race, income, and education. Many times, these interactions have worsened before becoming better. In this light, the focus of this document is to demonstrate the usage and blending of bibliotherapy, Readers Theater, and PowerPoint presentation via on-line technology, as an engaging teaching and learning tool that hones cultural literacy in students. It is within this context that the authors seek to provide a strategy to hone cultural literacy utilizing the bibliotherapy and Readers Theater; thus influencing students’ knowledge about race and themselves.
