Classroom Activities for Cross-Cultural Learning.
Zanger, Virginia Vogel, Ed.; And Others
One-fourth of the students in Boston public schools have parents who were born outside of the United States. This guide contains a series of classroom activities, produced by Boston teachers and aides, that are designed to take advantage of the abundant cultural diversity found in Boston schools by encouraging these dual-culture students to share their multi- ethnic backgrounds with their peers. The activities help students construct booklets about themselves and their cultural backgrounds, and include information about the different countries these students' families came from as well as students' reflections on what it is like to live in two cultures. Other activities provided in this guide include the following: interviews/panel with foreign-born students; gestures in Spanish and English; middle and high school cooking classes; and other multicultural activities.
