Figure 1.6 Cultural Mandala

Put students in groups of three or four. Give them a mandala template as shown in Figure 1.6. Ask students to draw a picture of one or more objects or celebrations that represent their family and culture in one of the outer sections. Encourage them to use their first languages in their labels and descriptions. Then, in the inner section, have students draw the celebrations or objects they have in common. Each group shares their mandala, and mandalas remain on display around the room.

 Standards based skills: oral language development, compare and contrast, appreciation and tolerance for cultural differences
