  1. Analyze readings

    • Compare different cultural stories and the experiences/ traditions

  2. Focus on historical events

    • American Revolution- focusing on enslaved African Americans and Native Americans

  3. Use fun, diverse voices

    • reading children's books, create different voices for students to connect more with the book

This creates a safe environment for giving and receiving new information.

  1. Language inclusion

    • create projects in native languages

    • don't deter students from communicating in their language

  2. Sharing activities

    • "Just Like Me'' activity- students find a peer who shares the same interest or life experiences

    • have students share a story about traditions and heritage
