Building Blocks: The First Steps of Creating a Multicultural Classroom
Discovering diversity takes creativity, extra effort, diligence, and courage on the teacher's part. A
multicultural classroom must thrive on these differences and use them as a foundation for growth and
development. Differences command work, resolution, openness, and understanding. Teachers who
address these differences and add them to the curriculum will succeed in creating a multicultural
5 classroom that will advance the educational goals of all students.
(...) Teachers in multicultural classrooms must be open to their students and put forth the effort
needed to get to know their students inside and outside of class. If a teacher is hesitant about being
open, the class will reciprocate and the students will become estranged from one another and the
teacher. In order to be open, teachers must be interested in their students, fearless, willing to try new
10 and different things, sure of themselves in order to avoid taking things personally, and non-
judgmental of his or her students (Canning 196). Also, openness is not making assumptions and being
prepared for the unexpected (Canning 199). (...)Many cultures have many different mores and
folkways. Teachers must be open to what the students are doing and find out why they do what they
do. This openness will create communication in the class, which will ultimately develop into a
15 classroom that is learning, understanding, and culturally fluent.
In addition to openness, teachers must know the learning patterns of the students in their class.
Teachers must understand the learning patterns of the students who grew up in a culture other than
their own. Teachers who open themselves up to cultural difference will effectively handle culture
clash while teachers who assume that student A is rude and student B is dumb will close
20 communication in the classroom and destroy any hope of having a multicultural classroom. The best
way to handle culture clash is to be open, knowledgeable, and not be afraid to talk about the cultural
differences in class no matter what discipline the teacher is teaching (Jones 12). An open teacher will
create an open class and an open class will have open lines of communication that will create a positive
and beneficial learning environment for everyone.
25 (...) Gloria Boutte and Christine McCormick suggest six basic principles for teachers to use when
evaluating their culturally diverse classroom, these are, "1) building multicultural programs, 2)
showing appreciation of differences, 3) avoiding stereotypes, 4) acknowledging differences in
children, 5) discovering the diversity within the classroom, 6) avoiding pseudomulticulturalism"
(140). Showing appreciation of differences is very important because a teacher who does not show
30 appreciation of all the differences in their class will not get the chance to attempt any of the other five
principles. Teachers need to pay attention to their verbal and nonverbal language when he or she
responds to students who speak differently. For example, if a child reads, "Dere go the sto-man", the
teacher should avoid interrupting the student to provide the correct English version. Instead, the
teacher should thank the student for reading and then model the correct English version when she or
35 he speaks. However, the most important thing to remember about all classrooms is the premise that
every child is unique. All children are different and beautiful in their own way, no one student should
feel excluded from the class.
(...) Creating multicultural classrooms is a growing priority for all teachers and administrators. This
includes restructuring classroom evaluation and punishment techniques, but, more importantly, it
40 includes embracing difference and opening up the classroom for communication.

“Disease and malnutrition are closely linked”.
What is hunger?
Acute hunger or starvation are often highlighted on TV screens: hungry mothers too weak to breastfeed their children in drought-hit Ethiopia, refugees in war-torn Syria queuing for food rations, helicopters airlifting high energy biscuits to earthquake victims in Haiti or Pakistan.
These situations are the result of high profile crises like war or natural disasters, which starve a population of food. Yet emergencies account for less than eight percent of hunger's victims.
Daily undernourishment is a less visible form of hunger – but it affects many more people, from the shanty towns of Jakarta in Indonesia and the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh to the mountain villages of Bolivia and Nepal. In these places, hunger is much more than an empty stomach.
For weeks, even months, its victims must live on significantly less than the recommended 2,100 kilocalories that the average person needs to lead a healthy life.
The body compensates for the lack of energy by slowing down its physical and mental activities. A hungry mind cannot concentrate, a hungry body does not take initiative, a hungry child loses all desire to play and study.
Hunger also weakens the immune system. Deprived of the right nutrition, hungry children are especially vulnerable and become too weak to fight off disease and may die from common infections like measles and diarrhea. Each year, almost 7 million children die before reaching the age of five; malnutrition is a key factor in over a third of these deaths

Choose the alternative that presents the interrogative form of the sentence below.

In 1998, Dr. Philip A. Starr started putting electrodes in people’s brains. A neurosurgeon at the University of California, San Francisco, Dr. Starr was treating people with Parkinson’s disease, which slowly destroys essential bits of brain tissue, robbing people of control of their bodies. At first, drugs had given his patients some relief, but now they needed more help. After the surgery, Dr. Starr closed up his patients’ skulls and switched on the electrodes, releasing a steady buzz of electric pulses in their brains. For many patients, the effect was immediate. “We have people who, when they’re not taking their meds, can be frozen,” said Dr. Starr. “When we turn on the stimulator, they start walking.” First developed in the early 1990s, deep brain stimulation, or D.B.S., was approved by the Food and Drug Administration for treating Parkinson’s disease in 2002. Since its invention, about 100,000 people have received implants. While D.B.S. doesn’t halt Parkinson’s, it can turn back the clock a few years for many patients. Yet despite its clear effectiveness, scientists like Dr. Starr have struggled to understand what D.B.S. actually does to the brain. “We do D.B.S. because it works,” said Dr. Starr, “but we don’t really know how.” In a recent experiment, Dr. Starr and his colleagues believe they found a clue. D.B.S. may counter Parkinson’s disease by liberating the brain from a devastating electrical lock-step.
