Say: Keep this question in mind throughout the unit and at the end we can define culture base on the presentations and discussions. So lets start our unit by sharing where each of you are from including where your

parents are from. (Note: do not state a specific country or ask how many of you are from Puerto Rico. This eliminates isolation). And a few things they know about that culture After the discussion have students create a list of the different cultures that they heard and circle the one that they know the least about, place a check mark near the culture that they would like to know the most about. Closing/Summary Explain to students that today was the first day of the unit in which they brainstormed about the different cultures within the rom. Explain that for the next few days they will be placed in groups according to a specific culture, conduct research, presentation and then a celebration of the cultures
