  Case: Culture in the classroom
I have an idea of bringing culture into my classroom with different foods and celebrations from around the globe each week. Would this be a good idea, or do you think it would clog up the already hefty curriculum we need to follow? Explain and share ideas.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Bringing culture into the classroom by means of food is a great idea. I agree that yes, maybe a little less frequently than once a week. In addition, there are other ways of bringing multicultural curriculum into the classroom. You could integrate lessons about other cultures that delve into deep culture. By transforming your curriculum, you will be able to give the students some very meaningful lessons in different cultures and bring varying viewpoints and perspectives into your classroom.

Comments: There are so many aspects of other cultures that can be shared; music, traditions, dress, etc. A fun project would be to have each student choose a different country and design a travel brochure; great research activity.

Comments: I think this is an excellent idea and I would definitely use this solution for a culture activity in my own classroom. I also like that you mentioned doing other activities than just having food from different cultures. Food is great, but I think to really teach more and help students to learn more lessons on other cultures as well as activities that teach about different cultures would be helpful. Sometimes there are good alternatives other than food, or things to add to the mix along with food to help students to learn.

Comments: I agree with bring food into the classroom to introduce different culture and I also agree that once every week is very frequent so it should be more like once every two or three weeks. The idea of incorporating the lesson with a culture is a good way to get the standard covered but also a good way to introduce the culture to the students. This way when they think of the lesson they will remember the culture or vice versa.

Comments: I think your on the right track with your solution. I do agree also that once a week may be too much, but having it be in a regular lesson for a multicultural curriculum. With that said, I think that it's a great idea, instead of having a cultural lesson only when the holiday's are around for example, MLK day, or Day of the Dead during October.

Comments: I agree wholeheartedly. Sometimes food brought from home isn't permitted on school property anyone. Like the above user said, a better way to integrate culture would be to use it in a lesson.

Comments: I have to agree that implementing other cultures into the lesson plan would help the students develop an understanding of different cultures. Also, I agree that once a week may be too excessive and should probably occur not as frequently/

Comments: Bringing culture into the classroom is always a great idea. Incorporating the different foods as well can help students really want to be involved because everyones likes food in class. Culture is always fun and is always cool to compare and contrast our cultures differences.
