I also think it is crucial not to ignore the various backgrounds that exist in the classroom because you don't want the students to lose their identity or feel that their culture is inferior to American culture.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11802816334784129330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614121988671736169.post-16830990852851453942014-09-06T20:54:57.073-04:002014-09-06T20:54:57.073-04:00Hi Emily,

Many students learn visually and giving them the opportunity to be able to do so will help many English learners succeed in their goals. Taking it even further, you also said that you would ask them to share their own stories which I think is an awesome idea! This makes them feel connected to their own learning but at the same time being able to showcase themselves as not only a student, but also a person. This would help someone to feel as though they are not just doing homework, but being a part of a community of learners and sharers. Thanks for sharing.<br />-Brittany Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11582735810663887209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614121988671736169.post-33869226594850714092014-09-06T11:19:02.026-04:002014-09-06T11:19:02.026-04:00Emily,

Students are sometimes asked about things related to their own countries and the practice of blogging about their native cultures would be helpful in learning the vocabulary necessary to explain things of importance to them to an English-speaking audience.Maryannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00499263700257817331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614121988671736169.post-701162708999997932014-09-06T11:17:18.522-04:002014-09-06T11:17:18.522-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Maryannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00499263700257817331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7614121988671736169.post-14454047081860591682014-09-05T23:01:40.113-04:002014-09-05T23:01:40.113-04:00Emily, I love how you would choose to use a blog f...Emily, I love how you would choose to use a blog for cultural acceptance. It's a really good way to give each student their own space to express themselves freely. I also like how you have included not only photos but also recipes, which is something that I think a lot of people would be interested in! Depending on how many cultures you have in your classroom, it can be very hard to cover them all and make sure each student feels as though their culture is represented. By having students do this individually, it would help you as a teacher know what each student thinks stands out in their culture without you having to pick and choose. I love this idea!
