Bobby's Post 1
This is my day to day guide for my classroom activity. This is just a draft once I start to have my own class I will be able to judge it more correctly and adjust my schedule according to the flow of my class.
-Everyday I will be doing the standard curriculum assigned to my particular subject by the state, except for the presentation week and the first day of week two. I still need to prepare my students for other goals and be able to finish the curriculum in time for them to pass on to the next level.
-Week 1-
Day 1: Introduce Classroom activity and project goals to the students.
Day 2: Show them more examples of this project and let them know what expectations I will be looking for. Also, Find out which culture each student is and will be presenting on.
Day 3: Talk about cultures and why it is important we need to learn about others. Also, the students are going to start doing research. Assign by Friday that the students need atleast 10 resources to be turned in, (whether it be books, interviews, websites, etc.)
Day 4: Help students with research, give helpful advice on where to get some, and what to do with it.
Day 5: Start to show some more examples of the essay I am looking for. What protocol am I using and how to site sources. (over the weekend the students are going to be asked to get a rough draft done or have their ideas/outline written down for a exercise on the following Monday)
-Week 2-
Day 1: Students need to bring in their rough drafts or ideas/outlines for group discussions and peer reviews. Also I will be going around helping any student that needs advice or guidance.
Day 2: Students will now be writing their essays or adding on material from the advice of others or myself. This is also the time I will be helping them with any problems they may have.
Day 3: Same as above, students will be working on perfecting their essays. Also, the students will be choosing the days they will be presenting on.
Day 4: Show the students an example of the power point presentation. They can see what they need to accomplish, they can either copy the same way I have it or think of a new way to present the material. Whether it be a poster board, handouts, or etc.
Day 5: Here is where I will be available to help students with advice or hints with their presentations or essays.
-Week 3-
Day 1: Presentations of student projects*
Day 2: Presentations of student projects*
Day 3: Presentations of student projects*
Day 4: Presentations of student projects*
Day 5: Presentations of student projects*
*Essay's are to be turned in on the day that the student gives his or her presentation.
I am giving 5 days for presentation, because I don't know how long each student will be going for, I am thinking 4 to 8 min, but some might go longer and some shorter. Also, I don't know how many students are going to be in my class, so I want to have enough time for each student to give a good presentation.

Hey, Bobby. I am wondering what age group you are talking about. I have brought up the concept of culture with kids before and getting beyond the food/clothes/language stuff has been challenging. The "how people think" is most difficult for kids and can sometimes be a land mine. Are you going to be targeting ethnic cultures or are you going to open it up to odd subcultures, like the sports subculture, cliques, etc.? When I was an undergraduate, I took a class that addressed subcultures and some of the topics were interesting: left-wing activists, Dead Heads, various religions...

i have already stated the time amounted to this project and that is three weeks, but it is always subject to some change in the future. I think that students already understand a little bit about other cultures and a whole lot of there own culture. we live in florida adn we have a large spanish population, and have you ever met a spanish person that did not love or participate in their culture. I just want my students to understand the other cultures. I dont think it will be too hard to find 10 sources, different family members, websites, books, etc. every family member they talk too is a source and every website they use is a source, so i dont think it will be too much trouble for them.
