Building Cultural Bridges - Softcover
Synopsis
The revised edition of Building Cultural Bridges is a proactive, activity-based solution for increasing multicultural awareness and sensitivity toward diverse issues in the classroom. Designed to address diversity within schools and other organizations by helping students and staff alike develop the necessary skills to relate to others whom they might perceive as different, this approach seeks to increase multicultural awareness by helping students change negative attitudes, perceptions, and behaviors about cultural diversity. Intended for students in grades 7-12, this resource includes a leader s guide and a student workbook which includes reproducible readings, worksheets, and activities. The curriculum of over 50 interactive lesson plans provides opportunities for students from different backgrounds to interact with one another and to experience their similarities and appreciate their differences. Designed to help students learn strategies for resolving conflicts across cultures, enhance their communication and listening skills, and rethink and unlearn prejudices, the lessons can be used individually and selectively, infused into an existing curriculum over a four-week period, or expanded to be used over an entire semester.
