Lesson Introduction
Our world has increasingly become culturally diverse. Due to the rapid globalization and
economic development throughout the world, cross-cultural travel and migration have happened
a lot more often than ever before, which makes cultural diversity a common phenomenon in our
life. It is schools and teachers responsibility to teach students to appreciate and respect other
cultures so that they can live in harmony with people of different cultures.
This lesson is designed to provide students a multicultural education, aiming to lay a theoretical
and methodological foundation for the ensuing cultural diversity activity. It will be
implemented before the students start their

APPENDIX A:
An Instructional Manual for the Activity of Cultural Exploration
STEP ONE: Each group of students chooses a cultural stereotype or bias that they want to
explore and know more about.
STEP TWO: Students use the guiding question to help themselves to shape and structure their
ideas and decide what information they need to search and collect.
STEP THREE: They need to categorize all the information they have collected and analyze the
information, including information about how to understand reasons why people stick to certain
stereotypes and how these misunderstandings get spread, information about how to promote true
understanding about each culture, and make more people aware of being respectful toward other
cultures, also information about what harm would such misunderstanding bring to our society.
STEP FOUR:The next step is to decide which form they want to use to present their ideas. It can
be a group speech with slides and pictures, or a video, a website, etc. Once they pick up a
presentational form, they need to learn more about how to use certain digital tools and work
together to structure their information.
STEP FIVE: After they finish the creation of the presentation, they need to assign different work
shares to different group members, and then practice a lot. During their practice, it is a good idea
to get peer feedback and make changes.
STEP SIX: On the event night, the students will have chances to present to the rest of their
classmates and all the teachers. Each group has 10-12 minutes. They are supposed to include a Q
& A session at the end of their presentations to answer questions and discuss relevant issues with
the audience.
