Encouraging Students To Analyze/Articulate Their Beliefs about Cultural Diversity

This paper offers suggestions for teaching high school and college students about cultural diversity and for providing them with multicultural educational experiences. After presenting a background and rationale for such teaching, the paper gives a list of classroom activities, including student reactions to statements regarding racism and affirmative action and a video analysis exercise. Among the suggestions are that students write down their feelings and reactions to the video, then share what they have written in a class discussion, guided by the teacher. (CR)
