diversity

**Megan's Diversity Resource Page** **Peace Corps: Worldwise Schools**  The __**Peace Corps**__ website provides information about how to become a volunteer and serve in areas of education, youth and community outreach, technology and the environment in 74 different countries around the world. In addition, the website provides a multitude of resources specifically for teachers and students.
 * What is this site? **

**How could I use this website for my classroom? ** As I teacher, I would use this website for ideas on how to incorporate and teach about important issues of justice and diversity. The website includes many lesson plans that specifically address diversity issues such as cross-cultural understanding. It also provides lesson plans for a number of different subject areas such as health, art and music, and math and science. These lesson plans are wonderful to use in multicultural classrooms because the content relates to a specific country or culture and are written specifically to teach and promote diversity. You can search for lessons by grade, subject area, and region. The website also provides resources on how to involve students in service learning projects. I would also use this website to enrich my instruction for ELL students. The website provides online language lessons, curriculum enrichment activities, and a wide range of multimedia.
 * There are too many resources to name them all, but below are some of my favorites!**

**1. Rea****d along in English as you listen to folk tales and stories in other languages from countries all around the world.**


 * 2. Implement a lesson plan on cross-cultural understanding. **


 * 3. Want to learn about social mistakes ** ** that can occur around the world (including the United States)? **


 * 4. Invite** **a Peace Corps volunteer into your classroom!**
