3. Instruction- learning Process-

Create a detailed outline explaining the multicultural activity
following the teaching design below:
 Do First: Ask students questions about specific country in question. Find
out what students already know. Can they identify it on a map? Do any of
the students know anyone from this country? Have any of the students
already been there? (5 minutes)
 Mini-lesson: Look up *insert country* on computers/laptops and find the
continent, capital, and 3 other interesting facts about the country. (10
minutes)
 Guided Practice: Go over answers to Mini-Lesson with class. Discuss the
continent, capitals, and other facts about the country's location. Discuss
the interesting facts the students found. Discuss the countries religion, and
background of population. (20 min)
 Independent Practice: Handout - includes a reading on the country with
information about the population of people, and the cultures commonly
practiced. Handout will end with comprehension questions, as well as
 questions that compare and contrast the culture and facts of the new
country, with the United States. (10 minutes)
 Exit Slip: Quizlet on information just learned about the country. Questions
such as size, language spoken, etc. (10 minutes)

5. Reflection:
 Evaluate your multicultural lesson activity.
 What specific subject concepts, skills were taught.?
o Students were taught geography and use of map when locating the
country in question.
o Students were also taught facts of the country, and learned
information about another culture/way of life.
 What specific multicultural knowledge, skills were achieved?
o Students learned the different cultures and ways of another country
and compared them to our own in the United States. Students
learned to embrace the differences in other countries and their
backgrounds.
 List the strengths and weaknesses of the lesson plan
o The strengths include collaboration and teamwork as the students
discuss the things they learned about this country with their peers.
o Another strength is shining light on another culture and way of life
different than that of our own country, yet comparing to see what we
have in similar, and contrasting things we do different to show
students multiple ways is accepted.
o Weaknesses of the lesson plan would be time. I feel the lesson may
be slightly rushed and more time may be needed.
o Another weakness includes no hands on activities, I fear the
students may want something with more excitement and movement
into the lesson.
