Activity II - We Are Going to be Friends

Follow this link to watch a video on cultural diversity, and write an essay telling me what you liked about it. I also want to know what you think the students were trying to tell us about being different.

Activity I - Say Hello!


Go to Say Hello to the World and try saying hello in different languages! Practice with your parents at home, then pick one greeting and come to class ready to say hello in your chosen language.
