I enjoyed the article Multiculturalism in School Curriculum by Adam Waxler. Some things that automatically pulled my interest is that we must include all the cultures that make up our history. We must do this in a way that we are not forced to pull out each culture and teach separately. We should be able to go through the calendar and pin point certain moments in our history to celebrate and discuss. This should not change our curriculum only improve it.
Waxler states he incorporates his students to work in pairs to write and present an interview on one person from the time period. He provides the students with information from a variety of perspectives and from a variety of races and genders. This is a good way to incorporate to different facets. I would like to see the students doing their own research and then forming opinions than Waxler pulling the information for them and then them forming their opinions. This would help the students keep a more open mind.
