Presented in matrix form, this guide presents sample activities and resources for teaching cross-cultural studies and global education in a variety of content areas in the K-12 curriculum. Five goals are presented: to develop increased self-awareness and a positive self-concept among students of all ethnic groups; to develop an understanding and appreciation of the linguistic and cultural pluralism of the United States; to develop an understanding of image formation and stereotyping and their impact on individual and group dynamics; to recognize the commonalities shared by all human beings; and to create an awareness of how world events affecting a root culture also affect ethnic groups in the United States. For each of these goals, a matrix presents a content focus; sample activities for grade levels K-3, 4-6, 7-8, and 9-12; skills; and resources. Topics covered in these lessons are self-concept, ethnic and national heritage, the significance of names, social roles, national games, folk tales, interdependence, and special education. A 6-page resource list appears at the end of the guide. Ten sample lesson plans are also included. (LP)
