Cultural Rebecca Analysis

Decent Essays
Rebecca, I agree with your statement about bringing food or music of different cultures in the classroom. When my daughter we in elementary school , I remember they had a day where each child could set up a station “Around the World” and got to bring in food, and do a display of things from their culture. I really enjoyed it, and I remember how all the kids were going around to each table and was so excited to see all the things the kids brought in. I remember this in middle school and just recently my daughter did this again in high school. I really feel that our society is changing and embracing other cultures.

    As a parent as well as an early childhood educator, the reading was relatable. I utilize chants, songs, and lullabies to encourage learning with my students as well as my children. Many children enjoy the melody and rhythm of the songs regardless of their cultural backgrounds. Isabell and Raines (2012) stated that “all cultures have music they sing and instruments they play,” (p. 209). I agree that every student should have their musical culture reflected in the class.…

    1. I would use Morgan Brady’s Textbook Connection in my classroom, which is a name activity. This identifies the origin of each student’s name, then children color the origin on the map and children discuss the culture of their names. I enjoy this activity because students are engaged and they learn each student has their own culture. 2.…

    A. As an educator it is important that we encourage all the children to explore and value different cultures. The aim is to create an environment where their beliefs and values are respected as this helps children and families feel welcomed in a safe and supported environment. It’s important to discuss differences rather than pretending they do not exist. Educators need to role model the appropriate attitude when it comes to children with different cultural backgrounds as this can nurture a sense of belonging in all children.…

    The initial reaction to the story about the corner store was that the corner store did not take checks or the woman has paid with a check that did not work in the past. I originally agreed with Irving's initial interpretation's but I now agree with the couple if the white husband was able to pay with checks at the same corner store I think the store clerk was being racist and would not let the wife pay with a check because of the color of her skin. The store clerk would not agree with the couple's interpretation because it would make the clerk and the store look bad.…

    One thing as a teacher you have to be culturally competent, you have to know about your student and their background. By knowing your student, their family, their culture, you will know more about why the student is the way he or she is and why they do things the way they do. Teachers can always do research to get to know their students, to get to know the family. One great way to get the whole class involved is so have a class presentation, where the students talk about their cultures. You have to be open minded and willing to learn to be able to connect with the multicultural community.…

    The Australian Curriculum is futures oriented. The overarching objective is to equip students with 21st century skills and a quest for lifelong learning (Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority, 2012, pp. 4, 5, 28). The challenge for teachers working at the crossroads of these varying discourses in the classroom is to translate the curriculum in a manner that places each student at the centre of teaching and learning in a encouraging and intellectually challenging manner. This paper will compare and contrast these various discourses within the Middle Years (Years 7 – 9) and Senior Years (Years 10 – 12) contexts.…

    On the opposite view from nativist, children have universal grammar from birth. This perspective proposed by Chomsky in Fellowes and Oakley (2010) that children have the competency to learn any language. Nativist theory places emphasis on biological reason on how children develop their language. The nativist perspective encounters criticism of omitting environment and social influences that play a role in children’s language development. Further account by Fellowes and Oakley (2010) state nativist perspective portrays teachers will not need to teach language if children will naturally learn all they need to know.…

    Teachers could promote it by setting a group discussion so that students from different cultural background could sit together to share their different understandings of one particular content. However, it also need to be reminded that some ideas may not be accepted and absorbed by every student in class in a short period of time due to the great diversity of them. In conclusion, Film Who We Are: Brave New Clan directed by Leah Purcell is a suitable resource for me as a mathematics teacher to use in the class to enhance the learning outcomes for students. It demonstrates issues of social justice, self-identity and culture diversity which…

    Mrs. Green can address this by communicating clear high expectations for her students and creating an environment where all the students give respect and are given respect of their beliefs, culture, and abilities. Allowing students to learn within the context of culture is another aspect of culturally responsive teaching. Mrs. Green should incorporate teaching strategies that are familiar to Juan as well as varying the other strategies used to help build on the students’ understanding of a new concept. She could also assign the class a research project where she would allow students to pick a topic or issue that relates to their own community or cultural group. This kind of project would allow for all the students to learn about each other’s culture and help to build cultural respect among one another.…

    As educators we are continuously trying to make connections with the students we are intrusted to guide, and mentor. To create for them a foundation which will make their lives in some measurable way better. However, many educators although well versed on pedagogical practices, fail to understand the role in which creating more culturally inclusive classrooms will have dramatic improvements on whole school, and teacher student relationships. As noted by inclusiveclassrooms.org: “As teachers, so many of our exclusionary practices are ones we do not even recognize. Practices we have known and loved our whole lives may have implications for students, simply because of cultural differences.…

    The great opportunity that I have with my subject is that I get to teach them about the Latino culture and 98% of my students are Latinos. I feel this is a great opportunity to teach my students to feel proud of their Latino culture and the great advantages they have by being bicultural. For those students who are not Latino, I teach them to appreciate other cultures and to feel conformable around their peers. Besides, I always ask them to share something about their culture and compare it to the Latino culture. Many times they come to discover that both cultures share a lot in common.…

    The group assigned this Interactive Oral discussed the culture aspects of the novella, The Metamorphosis, and the history of the author, Franz Kafka. I learned that the main character, Gregor, had a similar relationship with his family as Kafka himself had. Kafka, like Gregor, was alienated from his family because he was different. Also, Kafka had plans of suicide near the end of his life (although he did not go through with them) and Gregor ends up committing suicide at the end of the novella. We discussed the uses of modernism (symbolism, imagism) and magic realism (mixture of reality and fantasy).…
