Create a Culturally Diverse Lesson Plan
Incorporate cultural diversity into a lesson. Go back to your cultural assessment piece. Using the cultural group you chose to compare to your own create a lesson that incorporates the culture you studied into the lesson.
• This lesson should focus on an element of a culture you explored in your cultural self-assessment.( please see below)
• The lesson should explore a diverse culture in depth on an age-appropriate level.
• The lesson can represent the cultures in the classroom as well as diverse cultures.
• It should not involve a holiday or food
In your lesson Consider the following:
• The nature of the learner. What do you know about the students’; attitudes, values, and beliefs; learning styles; need for structure; family/peer support groups; a sense of ethnic identity, motivation, self-image,.
• The teacher’s scholarly knowledge. What are the key concepts, skills, and understandings to be taught? What are the key questions and issues? What fact and generalizations are most important? What are the important connections between the subject matter and goals of global and multicultural education?
• How will you communicate with the family, community? What resources will you need?
