Having an array of books in the classroom with help that children with different kind on situation in there life. It is a plus for the teacher to have a book that will teach the children about that days lesson. The classroom will have all types of different cultural, so having books in the classroom that deals with diversity.
This will show the children that their are different people around us and show them how to deal with it. All educators should have an "The Seven Basic Plots" Chart this will help them with any problems comes their way. The important thing for teachers is to make sure they choose books that present a variety of settings so that children's experiences can be both affirmed through similarities and expanded through differences (Coats, 2013 Seaction 4.2).

Then, briefly discuss how knowing this information will help you choose literature for your classroom.
This information is very helpful because I now know what to look for in a book, if I have students going through certain issues I can help them with a book, on goofy days we can read books that make us laugh or when we are having a hard time we can read a book about tragedy so they know they are not alone in how they are feeling.
When we have an assignment or fun project about going on a quest we can start by reading a book about other people going on quest. "Every day, stuff happens. Just like adults, children have desires and needs, and we all try to fulfill them: We eat, we sleep, we love, we hate, we complain, we worship, we work, we play, we cry, we laugh.
Through it all, we try to make sense of the things that happen. Throughout human history, the most persistent way we have tried to put things into some meaningful order or context is through stories."(Coats, K. Sec 4.2) I believe this is such a powerful statement so this is why information like this is helpful. Overall this is another tool I need in my classroom to better help and mold the children I will be teaching.
