Purpose: To celebrate cultural diversity in
Canada and to bring a close to the unit.
Ideas:
- Cultural Celebration. Students dress in the
traditional clothes of their culture or one that
they are interested in. Each student brings in a
food that is from his/her culture as well. Each
student can colour in the flag of the country
she/he is representing. Each student can share
his/her family's origin, why his/her family came
to Canada, and some information about his/her
culture. Also, the people that the students
interviewed earlier in the unit could be invited.
- If there is not a lot of diversity in the class
then each student can choose a culture that
he/she is going to learn about and represent.
Evaluation:
- Student enthusiasm, research and participation.
