When looking at the books in my database, I was lacking a good amount of multicultural books. So I went to the section in the library and selected several books that discussed not only stories from different cultures, but the cultures themselves. As a teacher, it is important to gain as much of an understanding of other cultures as possible to completely embrace the diverse group of students that I will be faced with. While it is stressed that instruction has to be differentiated to meet different learning styles, it is just as important to differentiated to meet cultural diversities. I enjoyed learning about indian americans and how they adapt to the american school system and culture. ( )
