Hey everyone!
Just a thought I wanted to put out there about our units of study. When Summer and I were thinking of a strong motivational activity for our lesson, we decided to put the kids up to the task of interviewing a family member about their native country and culture. We thought it would be an extremely effective way to immediatley integrate and engage the children into our unit about Cultural Diversity.
Additionally, we have talked a lot in this course about making the material relevant to the child. Having our students interview a member of their family allows them to have access to information that is tangible after coming up with a class definition of cultural diversity and differences. Lastly, all of us are aware of how essential family involvement is in the productivity of our childrens school work. Allowing the family to gain insight to their child's curriculuum is a fabulous way to tighten those parental bonds and build connections for future involvement.
