Ex. “What are your initial thoughts on the cover of the book as well as title?
What do you think the story will be about?”
The students will bring at the end of the week a piece that
will help us as a class understand their culture a little deeper
this could be, food , clothing, pictures, musical instrument
Etc. The students will have 3-5 mins to share what they
bought in.
Empowering
● Creating a drawing/collage allows students to reflect on their
culture and learn information about different cultures. This
understanding is the start for bridging multiple cultures in our
classroom.
● Reading the stories of the two boys will give students an
understanding that culture is different around the world, but
in some aspects we are the same.
● After students collaborate with one another, they will develop
empathy for their friends that are different than them.
Walk through
a. Are you starting with a read aloud? Will you be asking questions in between the read aloud? What questions will you
be asking? How will you deal with distractions?
We would start with a read aloud and be asking questions throughout the story. The questions that will be asked is for the
students to make connections. We will ask the students how they are similar and different from the kids in the story. We will
deal with distractions by reading the book all together and by asking questions throughout the story we can check who is
following along and engaged.
After every student has shared we will end the lesson plan by going through reflections questions such as “Did you find any
similarities between some cultures your classmates shared?” or “What is something new you learned today?”.
Students are able to bring things from home or draw pictures along with using the internet if you are able but, it is not
required. Every student will have supplies to at least draw because we will make sure our students have all the supplies
needed to be successful throughout the year. If a student needs access to the internet we will also give students time
throughout the week to work on it in class so they have more tools.
