EDU 321 EDU/321 EDU321 Week 1 Discussion 2/DQ 2 Case Study Cultural Awareness -NEW Case Study: Cultural
Awareness Read Chapter 2 of your text and the following case study: You are a second grade teacher. You have a
student named Jia who is from China and has lived in America for only six months. Today, you will be teaching a lesson
on the life cycle of a butterfly, which includes the egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, and adult. (Image retrieved from
http://geraldguild.com/blog/2014/03/) She is very bright and social, but is really struggling with English. You want to
ensure that your lesson plan is both culturally and linguistically responsive, so you begin brainstorming by considering
various teaching practices that could support Jia?s culture and language. ? Go to the section entitled ?Culturally
Responsive Teaching Practices? and ?Linguistically Responsive Teaching Practices? and select two teaching practices
that you would consider utilizing when developing your lesson plan on the life cycle of a butterfly. ? Copy and paste the
teaching strategies you selected within your response and then under each one, explain specifically how you will include
the teaching practices within a lesson plan on the life cycle of a butterfly and how it would best support Jia. ? Then
reflect on this process by answering the following two questions: o Why do you think it is important for teachers to
understand the cultural identities of their students? Provide evidence from the text to support your opinion. o Cushner
(2007) has explored ways in which to broaden the cultural understanding of teachers. He supports the idea of ?lived
intercultural experiences? (p. 9) and states that pre-service teachers would benefit from cross-cultural experiences
which would better prepare them to work students that are different from themselves. Describe an intercultural
experience that you have been a part of and reflect on what you learned. If you have not had an intercultural experience,
describe what you could do to have such an experience. How will these experiences benefit you in the classroom to
ensure both culturally and linguistically responsive practices? Reference Cushner, K., McClelland, A., & Safford, P.
