One thing from chapter eight that jumped out at me was the chart on page 148 that discussed different ways for a teacher to incorporate another individuals culture and background into the material being covered in class.
This part of the reading stood out for me because I never thought that I would be teaching students who have learned English as a second language. Coming from rural Maine, it has never been something that I have had experience with, but if I become a teacher in a larger city or more populated states, this issue is something I will have to learn to deal with. I think that this chart offers some great beginning ways of integrating another culture and language into the classroom. Not only does it educate the other students in the class, but it also helps the student learning English relate it back to their own origins. One question I have is what happens when the student may not be coming from a different country and may just have extreme trouble learning the English language?
