When we sat down to decide on a topic for this project, the idea of Heritage Fairs came up pretty quickly. Our rationale for this topic is really four-fold:
1. Canadian
classrooms are becoming more and more culturally diverse. We are
looking to enrich the current curriculum by incorporating more
information about diversity through a variety of activities.
2.
A Heritage Fair is an inclusive approach to teaching cultural
diversity, as all students can participate and get meaning out of
the experience.
3.
Grade 9 Social Studies has an entire unit on diversity and pluralism
in Canada – we are looking to add to it and expand it to all
grades.
4. Our
group is culturally diverse and each of us is coming from a very
different background. This is a topic that is common to each of us.
