* Cultural awareness is an acknowledgement of cultural and
individual differences through implementation of 

instructional and
learning activities that support varied learning preferences, multiple
intelligences, and native languages.


* Cultural relevance is achieved through culturally congruent and
culturally relevant learning activities.



*
Culturally supportive environments are safe and inclusive and
integrate the learner�s culture, family, and community.


* Equitable access provides learners with access to technology in
ways that best meets their needs.



*
Instructional flexibility is the use of varied modes of delivery and
assessment that harmonize with the learners� strengths

 and preferences. 

Instructional integration is an acknowledgement of technology as
an essential tool for learning and teaching 

I believe this project is culturally relevant because each student is responsible to accurately portray their classmate and their culture. They are gaining understanding by asking personal questions, researching a new culture, and presenting information based on their findings. The best way for students to gain empathy is by doing the work to truly understand someone or something. This project allows them to represent another person in a positive way. The vulnerabilty that students must have to discuss their past and their families creates trust between the students. Furthermore, students will have several day learning about a new place and the traditions that go into the people that live there.
