It is important to teach students the concepts of finding one’s cultural identity in order to develop an awareness of all cultures in society. This will help the students in gaining understanding of values, norms, and attitudes reflected in society. Culture shapes relationships between family, people, and the society. Students who lack cultural identity tend to form negative attitudes towards school and disregard the process of education in their life. The students will be able to identify underlying universal elements of all cultures while appreciating and embracing mild differences in other cultures. The literature selections I have used in this unit are from the play Tokyo Bound written by Amy Hill. The Color of Water by James McBride, Arranged Marriages by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni and The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan are books that I intend to use as supplements to support my curriculum unit. The main goals of the unit will help the students apply critical thinking skills to make links between the readings and their personal lives. The students will respond to the literary pieces from different times and places and identify major cultural influences. A unique trait that my paper has is the weight I put upon making connections from the literature to the student’s lives. For example, in the activity where they are instructed to write an essay, I will make the students describe not only the culture of the characters in the play and the novels, but also make them compare it to their own culture. The activities I have planned are the narrative essay, collage making, journal writing, scriptwriting and role-playing. I believe that all of the listed activities will give my students perspective in what multiculturalism is and give them a looking glass into their own culture, thus discovering their own cultural identity.
