Two concepts slides(multicultural story)
(1-2 slides per concept): Describe how this multicultural story demonstrated intercultural concepts from our reading (Black hair) First PDF
As part of your presentation (after your cultural tour) on the second PDF (multi-cultural story)I attached, you will provide a brief analysis of how the multicultural story illustrates two important concepts that we have learned about intercultural communication in this course. For example, any of the terms in our course glossary could serve as a focal concept. Use one-two slides for each concept to explain how the story illustrates it. Brief bullet points are fine, but they should be clear.
These are the glossary: YOU NEED TO WRITE ABOUT ONLY TWO CONCEPTS IN ONE OR TWO SLIDES FOR EACH:

Module 3 terms
From the Paris reading:
• Culturally sustaining pedagogy: pedagogy that requires supporting young people in sustaining the cultural and linguistic competence of their communities while at the same time offering access to dominant cultural competence; the goal is supporting multilingualism and multiculturalism between students and teachers; it seeks to sustain linguistic, literate, and cultural pluralism as part of the classroom environment
• Deficit approaches: view the languages, literacies, and cultural ways of being of many students and communities of color as deficiencies to be overcome in learning the dominant language, literacy, and cultural ways of schooling
• Culture of poverty: the view the home cultures and communities of poor students of color were bankrupt of any language and cultural practices of value in schools and society
• Difference approaches: A method in the 1970"s and 80"s of viewing language literacies and cultural ways of students with little regard for the heritage of the students
• Funds of knowledge: historically accumulated and culturally developed bodies of knowledge and skills essential for household or individual functioning and well-being
• Third space: teaching and learning are not simply about building bridges for students between the often disparate knowledge of home, community, and school spaces but that teachers and students must bring together and extend the various activities and practices of these domains in a forward-looking third space.
• "cultural competence" (according to Ladson-Billings): supporting students in maintaining their community and heritage as it pertains to language and other cultural practices while they are in the process of gaining access and learning about dominant ones
• Cultural Connectedness: To measure how people come together to interact at different levels and achieve harmony in a multiculture society
From Diaz-Rico
• Culturally compatible instruction: teachers of English learners make whatever accommodations may be necessary to promote students' academic achievement / A teaching method that takes the backgrounds of a multiculturally diverse student body into consideration protecting the differences of the students by creating a safe and comfortable environment for all the participants
• Culturally responsive pedagogy: It is the idea that the teachers need to understand students' cultures and establish a school environment that fit their needs to be successful. The teachers also need to establish a connection with parents, communities and to be able to know teaching techniques, communication methods, classroom arrangments, and curriculum to achieve the goal of cultural teaching.
• Cultural fluency: ways for leaders to understand cultural differences so they can work together. / The ability to understand the values of people from a variety of cultures
• Cultural marginality: The people's sensations of not belonging to either culture due to their existence in a society of two different cultures or more. As educators, we need to accept these people and let them feel belonging and settle for the cultural differences and help them accomplish their needs and goals as part of these cultures.
• Culture as content: As a way of teaching English is to show the American culture, so the customs, beliefs, celebrations of the American become a content to be taught to English learners.
• Bias (describe types of bias in teaching about culture)- a.The sole cultural reference may be to holidays or food, or they may have "ethnic" bulletin boards only during certain times of the year. b. Books about children of color are read only on special occasions, and units about different cultures are taught once and never mentioned again. c. People from cultures outside the United States are seen only in "traditional" dress and rural settings. d. If they are people of color, are always shown as poor. e.Native Americans may be represented as from the past. f. students' cultures are often misrepresented; pictures and books about Mexico, for example, are used to teach about Mexican Americans.
• Ethnorelativism: being able to accept cultural differences, adapt to them, and integrate them into our own personality; understanding culture as values, behaviors, and other patterns
• Intercultural conflict (describe steps to resolving these conflicts): conflict between 2 or more individuals who have been socialized into different cultures.
