What way can you support cultural exchange in your classroom? by Rachel Ormsby https://padlet.com/rachelo3/nz63vsa6k38p Made with serendipity en-us 2019-05-06 22:29:06 UTC 2019-05-08 00:40:29 UTC hello@padlet.com Open Discussion matt416 https://padlet.com/rachelo3/nz63vsa6k38p/wish/357864825 One thing I've always wanted to do is allow my students to talk and discuss with me in a very informal manner. I feel like a lot of things that we want to be brought up, will be brought up naturally if you allow students the freedom to talk about what they want. Maybe set aside 30 minutes every Friday for discussion. Kids would be building social skills and bringing their own view points to the table. Some views that don't fit in an academic setting might be well suited to be discussed when the floor is open.]]> 2019-05-08 00:34:49 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelo3/nz63vsa6k38p/wish/357864825 Through Building Community nthorwaldson https://padlet.com/rachelo3/nz63vsa6k38p/wish/357864835 It all has to start with creating a tight knit community within your classroom. Before you can discuss tough topics like race it is important to build the right environment for it. Giving students the opportunity to share who they are and feel connected with their fellow students can help them feel comfortable with sharing. I would recommend assignments that allow the students to share who they are in an artistic way. Once you feel like the community is there you can start leading discussions around these important but difficult topics. ]]> 2019-05-08 00:34:54 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelo3/nz63vsa6k38p/wish/357864835 prompt discussion and ask questions https://padlet.com/rachelo3/nz63vsa6k38p/wish/357864841 prompt discussion and ask questions]]> 2019-05-08 00:34:56 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelo3/nz63vsa6k38p/wish/357864841 https://padlet.com/rachelo3/nz63vsa6k38p/wish/357864856 Taking time at the beginning of the year to learn about your students and their culture

With that information, the teacher can draw a circle that contains each identity in the classroom. Then, for part 2, students can name different identities or cultures, these will be written outside the circle. These represent the cultures outside of the classroom. Now, draw a large circle that encompasses all previous writing. This is our world, and WE ARE ALL A PART OF IT and deserve recognition and acceptance.]]> 2019-05-08 00:36:25 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelo3/nz63vsa6k38p/wish/357865163 Get to know your students culture and connect it to your class curriculum. https://padlet.com/rachelo3/nz63vsa6k38p/wish/357865204 2019-05-08 00:36:41 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelo3/nz63vsa6k38p/wish/357865204 make a project where the students can build something that represents them and have them explain why https://padlet.com/rachelo3/nz63vsa6k38p/wish/357865223 2019-05-08 00:36:48 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelo3/nz63vsa6k38p/wish/357865223 https://padlet.com/rachelo3/nz63vsa6k38p/wish/357865303 Family tree project]]> 2019-05-08 00:37:11 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelo3/nz63vsa6k38p/wish/357865303 Presentation https://padlet.com/rachelo3/nz63vsa6k38p/wish/357865348 Have students create a illustration and short writing portion and present to the class ]]> 2019-05-08 00:37:27 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelo3/nz63vsa6k38p/wish/357865348 survey your class to find out what they like and enjoy and implement that into what you're teaching https://padlet.com/rachelo3/nz63vsa6k38p/wish/357865370 2019-05-08 00:37:33 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelo3/nz63vsa6k38p/wish/357865370 Cultural show & tell https://padlet.com/rachelo3/nz63vsa6k38p/wish/357865477 2019-05-08 00:38:08 UTC https://padlet.com/rachelo3/nz63vsa6k38p/wish/357865477 Cultural show & tell.
