My Virtual Field Trip

Decent Essays
Many teachers do not have the opportunity to have extra field trips to expose students to a variety of cultural experiences. The teacher could invite a chef from an authentic restaurant into the classroom. The chef can then teach the students how to make a simple dish from that culture. The students now have the opportunity to experience food from a different culture and be able to ask the chef questions about their cultural experiences. This positive rapport can help the children be more accepting of other’s differences. Traveling to other places may not be available to all teachers. A way my class “traveled” to other places was via virtual field trips. We were able to walk through the streets of Paris, visit the Louvre, and listen to traditional

    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.…

    Many families try to teach their children at a young age about their heritage and culture, in hope that they will carry on traditions. It is our relatives, whether it be our parents, siblings, or cousins that have a huge impact on who we become, what traditions we follow, and what leisure activities we like to be part of.

    This week I found both chapter 7 & chapter 8 to hold great ideas and helpful insights into becoming multicultural educators. Specifically, after reading chapter 8 I thought it would be a great benefit to a multicultural educator to be submersed in a foreign country for a short period of time before they start teaching. I think even if a future educator spent a week in a foreign country, ideally where they do not look like or speak the same language as the ethnic majority, it would greatly benefit them and their future students. As Chia-lin Huang shared in chapter 8, during her time in the United States she began to understand what the students she was instructing in Taiwan must have felt. This gave her an understanding of their feelings of inadequacy, discomfort, frustration amongst other insights.…

    This will teach the children how to be receptive to people from a different culture while expanding their world view.

    One district factor that stood about Fair Play, from my Contextual Factors chart was that partly small proportion of residents from Latino or Asian descent; 1.1 – Hispanic, 0.5 – Asian, compared to its White/Caucasian. Due to this factor, I realize that I will have to make a willful effort to be aware of Hispanic and Asian culture in the United States, how it affects these students, and how to teach my students about different cultures. One possible instructional strategy that I could use in the classroom would be to teach students how to respect and understand other cultures not only because schools can help foster lifelong friendships, but because students will know how to interact with people from diverse cultures throughout life. One learning…

    I believe that our team-teaching lesson plan went as planned. Although there are some areas of improvement, the overall experience was something that I have never done before. I have taken the feedback that the other group members have given to better understand what I would do if I were to ever teach a team-teaching lesson again. I think that this was a great experience as I gained knowledge and a better understanding on how to go about teaching a tam-teaching lesson. Making the lesson plan as a team was very fast and efficient.…

    Every person belongs to a culture, some people may belong to multiple but sometimes we need to step out of our comfort zone to experience a culture unlike our own. Traveling the world is an excellent example of this, although, sometimes we can have a cultural experience not too far from home, since the United States is tremendously diverse. “Twenty-eight African countries have been at war since 1980, and one-third of Africa’s leadership in 2010 still emanates from the army or a rebellion.

    For my third ‘field trip’ of the semester, the class was given the assignment to do something that they had never done before. A daunting task in general, because seeking out something that one has never done can be pretty difficult. I myself have had a few things that I would love to do if I could get a couple of people to come with me. I was interested in trying my hand at fencing, because playing with swords seems to be something smart to try to do. I brought up the idea to my group of friends in the class, and there was a lot of interest in giving it a shot.…
