Nearly 30% of all public school children attend school in large or
mid-size cities, totaling more than 16 million students in 22,000
schools. For schools serving culturally and linguistically diverse
populations and large numbers of children living in poverty, a
significant achievement gap persists. Proponents of multicultural
education often advocate for instruction with culturally relevant
texts to promote inclusion, compassion, and understanding of our
increasingly diverse society. Less discussion has focused on the
significant body of research that suggests that culturally relevant
texts have important effects on language and literacy development.
By "connecting the dots" of existing research, More Mirrors in the
Classroom raises awareness about the critical role that urban
children's literature can play in helping children learn to read
and write. In addition, it provides practical step-by-step advice
for increasing the cultural relevance of school curricula in order
to accelerate literacy learning.

Eduardo Sánchez directs this 'found footage' horror film about a
young woman on the brink of madness. After their wedding, newlyweds
Molly (Gretchen Lodge) and Tim (Johnny Lewis) move into Molly's
childhood home, but soon find themselves in the grip of terror as
unexplained phenomena start to occur around the house. Tim, a long
distance truck driver, is away from home for long periods at a
time, leaving Molly to face the demons alone. Afraid to confide in
her family, fearing they will assume she has lapsed back into the
drug addiction that plagued her before marriage, Molly begins to
film her experiences, and the film is based around the resulting
'footage'.
