By teaching culture within social studies setting, students are given the chance to not only voice their own opinions about their culture, but also get to learn more about those around them. In short, including culture in social studies lessons allows the students to feel that their education is personal and something they can connect with.
Teaching culture can also help students to understand where stereotypes come from and how they may be detrimental and untrue of what really makes up certain cultures.]]> 2021-02-18 03:16:47 UTC https://padlet.com/josewlalas/b8ru21xnk9ytu43k/wish/1213650210 https://padlet.com/josewlalas/b8ru21xnk9ytu43k/wish/1213650211 Culture is important to teach in the classroom, because it allows students to learn different values and traditions from their own. Doing this shows how diverse we are as a society in America. This allows helps students make connections from the curriculum they learn in social studies. ]]> 2021-02-18 03:16:47 UTC https://padlet.com/josewlalas/b8ru21xnk9ytu43k/wish/1213650211 https://padlet.com/josewlalas/b8ru21xnk9ytu43k/wish/1213650317 It depends on who is defining culture in the classroom for social studies. If a teacher is referring to the customs and practices for what it means to be a good citizen in the United States (essentialism and didactic literacy), then it is important to get students to understand rules and obey them in order for them to be a successful Americans.

However, if we are broadening our definition beyond the restricted domain of essentialism to include how each student can use their own practices, values, critical thinking, and independent experiences to contribute to understanding of history and its interpretation, then it is essential because it increases inclusivity and equity in the classroom. It allows each and every student to consider how they can understand something from their own perspective rather than being told what to think. They are encouraged to ask questions that are meaningful to them and to seek their own answers. They bring their own background towards the creation of knowledge and appreciate and respect the different perspectives on how humans interact with one another.]]> 2021-02-18 03:16:52 UTC https://padlet.com/josewlalas/b8ru21xnk9ytu43k/wish/1213650317 https://padlet.com/josewlalas/b8ru21xnk9ytu43k/wish/1213650504 culture is important because it allows one to see who we are and where we came from; our upbringing.

Teaching about culture in Social Studies allows our students to become understanding and empathetic about different cultures and people that are not of their own. Creating an inclusive environment that teaches about culture diversity can promote and possibly prevents students from having a “fear” of the other or xenophobic ideas.Additionally, it is important to have students share their own cultural backgrounds and feel important and heard when it comes to personal lived experiences. ]]> 2021-02-18 03:17:05 UTC https://padlet.com/josewlalas/b8ru21xnk9ytu43k/wish/1213650618 https://padlet.com/josewlalas/b8ru21xnk9ytu43k/wish/1213650681 The notion of culture is important in teaching social studies to all children because it allows students to see and understand other cultures, bringing an element of respect towards each other's cultures and ultimately reducing prejudices. Bringing this into the classroom will also create a space where all students feel welcome because they will feel involved.

Culture is so diverse and can be taught in many different ways. I think that when we teach our students about different cultures they are better able to think critically and understand the different perspectives that different students are living through or have lived through. Students are more open to different values, religions and even rituals that some may think are bad. This is so important because all children can be both represented and can experience things that they do not normally do. ]]> 2021-02-18 03:17:15 UTC https://padlet.com/josewlalas/b8ru21xnk9ytu43k/wish/1213650825 https://padlet.com/josewlalas/b8ru21xnk9ytu43k/wish/1213651153 The notion of culture is important to teach in social studies because schools are made up with students that come from distinct cultural backgrounds. It is why it is important that students are being taught information that is culturally appropriate for them. 

Also, when teaching about all cultures students begin to be aware of other cultures than their own. It can help them see the similarities and differences between cultures. ]]> 2021-02-18 03:17:30 UTC https://padlet.com/josewlalas/b8ru21xnk9ytu43k/wish/1213651153 https://padlet.com/josewlalas/b8ru21xnk9ytu43k/wish/1213651803 It is important to teach about culture because it allows students to understand other cultures, traditions, and upbringings.
