Tapping into students cultural capital is important because it makes students feel like their culture matters. Also, this allows students to gain perspective. Students feel like they can relate to what they are learning. Students can also build relationships when they feel comfortable when they can relate to someone and someone understands them

Incorporating popular cultural is important because it engages students in current events and this relates to their immediate interests. ]]> 2023-02-20 15:57:13 UTC https://padlet.com/egreen2013/fu4a9q23mjsi38h/wish/2488650225 Group 1 https://padlet.com/egreen2013/fu4a9q23mjsi38h/wish/2488902682 Make learning contextual
Teachers should connect texts to students' personal experiences through questions and situations that are relatable. Students will be more engaged and motivated in the material to further their learning. 

Classroom set up
Teachers should create an inviting classroom setup in which all students are represented around the room. Teachers can also set up desk groupings with students who can relate to and help one another.

By incorporating multiculturalism into the classroom, you can represent all students while introducing them to the world around them. It works hand in hand with #4 because it help establish a bond between students and the teacher. It allows students to feel seen. 
Number 2 is another crucial strategy to incorporate into instruction because it exposes students to real world problems/examples. Teaching prepares students for life outside of the classroom. By using relatable content, it allows students to make meaningful connections and open new perspectives. ]]> 2023-02-20 21:54:28 UTC https://padlet.com/egreen2013/fu4a9q23mjsi38h/wish/2488903133 Group 3 https://padlet.com/egreen2013/fu4a9q23mjsi38h/wish/2488903746 A wide range of curricular content
- Having books in your classroom that are relatable to students' culture.
- Cultural books allow students to learn about other cultures which creates an inclusive environment.
Community Involvement
- A school night where grandparents or ancestors of students from different cultures discuss their experiences from their cultural backgrounds.
- This helps form relationships with students.
- Increased engagement and participation from students resulting from their parents and administrators involvement.]]> 2023-02-20 21:55:59 UTC https://padlet.com/egreen2013/fu4a9q23mjsi38h/wish/2488903746 Group 5 https://padlet.com/egreen2013/fu4a9q23mjsi38h/wish/2488903802 1. Make learning contextual-When students are able to connect and relate the text to their personal lives and their cultures, it makes it easier for the students to retain and understand what they are learning. It also allows for the students to connect emotionally to the literature. 
2. Consider your classroom setup- The classroom should reflect their actual students, this meaning the choice of literature should have representation of who is in the class. Diverse book selections that are from different cultures and backgrounds allow for the students to feel connected to what they are reading about.]]> 2023-02-20 21:56:06 UTC https://padlet.com/egreen2013/fu4a9q23mjsi38h/wish/2488903802 Group 4 https://padlet.com/egreen2013/fu4a9q23mjsi38h/wish/2488904060 Danielle McMillan

The two different strategies we found most helpful for introducing literacy in the classroom is make learning contextual. We found this to be important to incorporate into the classrooms. By incorporating activities and multicultural texts in the classroom and finding ways your students can relate to them will help them understand the information better and want to participate in class discussion more. Incorporating popular culture is the second skill we found beneficial to include in our classrooms. This goes hand and with forming relationships with your students. It is important to find out your students interests and incorporate some of their favorite media into your classroom instruction. This builds a positive environment that students want to participate and learn in.
