have a multicultural
classroom?
NO. This is a common misconception,
in fact, if you have a homogenous
classroom is it especially important to
emphasize multiculturalism because
the only exposure your students may
get to other cultures is through the
activities, books, and lessons that you
provide them with.
Why is multiculturalism
so important?
Role-Playing
Group Discussions
Group discussions stimulate thinking. The notion that thinking
originates within individuals - and only after that is it ready to
be shared socially - has given way to the belief that some of
the best thinking results from a group's collective efforts
(Sternberg, 1987). In discussions in which students examine
more than one point of view, there is ample opportunity to
enrich and refine their understanding by helping them to view
their own interpretation in the light of the interpretations of
others (Alvermann, 1991).
