2. All Lesson Materials:

3. Instruction- learning Process-
Create a detailed outline explaining the multicultural activity following the teaching design
below:

 Do First: (5 minutes.)

Introduce myself to the students by saying “Good morning!” Let the students know
that today we are going to be talking about differences with one another and relate it
to the Earth by stating that even though there are many differences between all of us,
we all are one living on the same planet.

 Mini-lesson: (15 minutes)

Present students with the Where Are You From? | Learn Countries of the World - YouTube
video by explaining first what the video is about in a brief summary and then let them watch
it.

 Guided Practice: (10 minutes)

Introduce to the students a print out of our Earth on the white board and pass out the
continent cut outs, giving each table one continent (7 tables or groups in total).
Explain to them that we will be matching the continents to the Earth and working
 together to put the Earth together. Have each table talk about their continents and the
differences they learned of that continent from the video they previously watched.

 Independent Practice: (20 min.)

After the group discussions, have one student from each group come up and stick
their continent on the Earth where it is supposed to be. Make sure to help each
student who comes up with the placement and have students help out as well.

 Exit Slip: (5 minutes)

After the Earth is put together, sum up what the students have learned by saying,
“Today, we explored the difference within each continent and how everyone has a
different culture and background, but even though we are all different, we still have
one thing in common; we all live on this big beautiful planet.”
