1. Raya and the last dragon

Disney Raya is a visual masterpiece that offers the richness of Southeast Asian culture through a
beautiful heartfelt story full of action that rings relevant messages: hope, trust and unity.
Nothing short of both compelling & powerful.

 A warrior named Raya is determined to find the final dragon in Kumandra, a reimagined
Earth inhabited by an ancient culture.

Long ago, in Kumandra's mythical realm, humans and dragons coexisted together. When the
land was attacked by terrible monsters known as the Druun, the dragons sacrificed themselves to save
humans. Those same monsters have reappeared 500 years later, and it's up to a lone fighter to track
down the final dragon and put an end to the Druun once and for all,

Five centuries after the magical dragons' unselfish sacrifice, the ance-peaceful world of
Kumandra, where humans and supernatural creatures coexisted peacefully, is in disorder, divided into
five nations. Raya, the sword-wielding Princess of Heart and fearless Guardian of the Dragon Gem,
embarks on a perilous adventure to track down a benevolent mythological figure and heal the land,
amidst warring factions, distrust, and the overwhelming threat of the Druun wrecking devastation on
Kumandra.

 Raya and the last dragon story is just like the world facing now, There are different
culture and beliefs in every country. Individual people in every country has no trust each
other because of differences beliefs. But at the end of the story is its okay to have
differences. We can still leave in peace and harmony with those who are not the same
as ourselves. We don’t have to be isolated with one another.

 It will take some time and effort to instill your culture in your family, but it will be well
worth it in the end. Children's growth is influenced by their cultural awareness and
traditions. According to studies, youngsters who have a sense of belonging to something
larger than themselves have a stronger sense of self and more steady confidence as they
 grow into adulthood. They are more likely to establish a strong foundation of
acceptance, belonging, and social strengths as a result of your efforts to teach children
to celebrate your and their culture.

Traditional food - Every culture has its own favorite or unique foods. Prepare a little
traditional dish once a month and take the chance to tell your family what makes it
unique. There are so many opportunities for cultural learning as well as family history
whether your grandmother made this dish for you as a youngster, or if your father
showed you how to chop the meat just right. You can even involve them in the
preparation of the recipe, turning it into a family activity!
Instuments – most culture have insturments to play Even if you have no idea how to
play it, having it prominently displayed in your home gives it a chance to shine. You can
even take it out and taste it every now and again to provide an opportunity to discuss its
significance in your culture. Do the bagpipes have a place in your culture? Is that a
ukulele? What about a traditional drum? All of these different musical instruments
might help you introduce your culture to your children.

Yes, Is it still necessary to study and cultivate traditional culture. Because Cultural
knowledge and tradition are critical in assisting young children in developing a healthy
sense of self-identity and self-esteem.

2. The Teachers diary

Two lonely teachers, a man and a woman. They were assigned to the same rural school,
but one year apart. The first girl to be assigned was blessed, so she tried to write down her
thoughts in her diary. One day she is transferred to another school and has to keep her diary. A
male teacher came in for her and saw her diary fall in love with an unknown writer. He also
wrote his thoughts on it. The man left and the woman came back and saw additional items in
her diary. She also fell in love with him, but now it's difficult for her to find the boy.

The movie was all about the two teachers, a not so smart teacher and a smart teacher. The
movie was really entertaining. It made me realize lots of things in life and as a future teacher. It taught
me right morals and things that are not suppose to be done as a teacher. The movie didn’t just portray
the story about being a teacher; they also included love, courage, self-motivation, self-respect, etc…
From what I’ve internalized on the story, pondered a lot about it. It made me think, how should I act and
respond towards my students in the future. What behavior to use and how will I communicate to them.
That I should not use brute force and indecent words to because it will affect their ways of thinking and
doing things by that the parents could put the blame on me.
 Being a teacher is no easy task, there’s a big possibility that I may be assigned far away from my
home, just like the main characters on the movie. The challenges that I may face may not be easy that is
why studying on this college should be on my top priorities. So I will not be like the male character on
the movie, which is not in demand because of his inadequateness, unlike the female teacher who is
smart.

As a future teacher, I should also follow the rules and regulations of the school that I’ll be
working. Be a good example to my students and other fellow workers. Because having a job is not easy. I
am motivated to pursue the course that I took, finish it with high grades. Because this will be the only
change that I can return to my parents for letting me study on this college.

Learn about your own culture - Become aware of how the influence of your own culture,
language, social interests, goals, cognitions, and values could prevent you from learning how you could
best teach your students of culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Also, understanding and
respecting your own cultural roots can help you respect your students’ cultural roots.

Learn about your students’ culture - Understand how your students’ cultures affect their perceptions,
self-esteem, values, classroom behavior, and learning. Use that understanding to help your students feel
welcomed, affirmed, respected, and valued.

Understand your students’ linguistic traits - Learn how students’ patterns of communication and various
dialects affect their classroom learning and how second-language learning affects their acquisition of
literacy.

Use this knowledge to inform your teaching - Let your knowledge of your students’ diverse cultures
inform your teaching. This, along with a sincerely caring attitude, increases student participation and
engagement.
