Aspects of Clash

Classroom Application: **Character lessons **Get to know your students**Lessons that show appreciation of other cultures**Embed within geography when studying other cultures**Address stereotypes

Although I do not have a culturally diverse group of kids this year, I can relate to the article from past experiences and quite possibly in the future.

Reflection: I never realized how some children could lose identity by being referred to and "lumped in" to a specific group (i.e. Asian Americans). Also, I feel that it is obvious that immigrant children have an issue with identity because of being told who they are becoming friends with are bad, especially if it is not in their culture.
