Lesson 8 : 06/12/2018 Deep Culture in the Elementary Classroom

I really liked that he talks about teaching our students this kind of manners, cultural crossings, paradigms so they can apply it and understand it but I will talk a little bit about this point.
Cultural instruction should be more than just piñatas, mariachis, French bread, and the Eiffel Tower. We need to go to a little deeper-especially in the secondary grades (Ivers, 2007).

And it is all the reason all this is more than just teaching like this if it is not mentioned that we should help them relate through situations and a lesson plan in which they apply what they have learned.

 We can be creative and likewise use technology to support us in teaching these cultural principles.

I will tell you an experience
I was learning French so the teacher decided to have a French-style picnic so we could learn and bring wine, cheese, bread, butter etc ... But he forbade us to carry chili because here in Mexico "if something does not itch it does not taste".

 We only practiced the language really helped me learn a little more about the French culture and some cultural differences like eating bread and cheese .. for me, it was good to do some things but at the same time it did not make sense and we learned a little more about the culture French
Personally, as I students see everything differently and become more open.
