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.

Also, this helps ELL students realize everyone has their own unique culture and they will most likely find several similarities.
