Extractions: For use by teachers and parents at home and at school. "Exploring Diversity" What your materials inspired me to think of is teaching a unit at the begining of the school year on diversity and the many different cultures that make up the United States of America. Teaching this unit on diversity and different cultures would emphasize that being different is what makes us all special and makes the United States so great. This would help any ESOL students feel more welcome and accepted in the classroom. In particular I thought that I could have the students all find out one culture that makes up their family's background and then study that country in terms of finding out a couple facts. This would help students learn more about their cultural background and it would also help educate the class. I also thought that the classroom could have a big world map and students could connect a picture representing them in Florida to a point in the country their family is from. This would help our class see where all of our families are orginally from. Maybe even have a dinner with the cultures of the world that students and their families would be invited to, and each student would bring a food from their culture.

Extractions: Review with your students the conditions of apartheid in South Africa until its dissolution in the early 1990s. Then discuss the cause-effect relationship between economic sanctions carried out by the international community and the end of apartheid. Explain to students that they will debate the issue of U.S. economic sanctions designed to isolate foreign countries and deprive them of U.S. dollars. Explain to your students that American citizens disagree among themselves on the morality and effectiveness of economic sanctions against governments that the United States does not recognize. Tell students that they are going to become experts on (a) which international activities are prohibited and which are allowed when the United States places economic sanctions on another government and (b) the plusses and minuses of economic sanctions in general. Armed with facts, students will hold a debate to explore arguments for and against economic sanctions. Be sure that students understand the following points regarding the nature of a debate:

Classification makes things easier to find, identify, and study. Scientific classification groups all plants and animals on the basis of certain characteristics they have in common.
