TODAY: Diversity and Immigration

DIVERSITY• What is diversity?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lmj9HnbdhTc• NO. How would YOU define diversity?– Turn and talk: talk with a partner QUIETLY (the other side

of the room should not be able to hear you!)– Write down your thoughts around the term diversity as a

brainstorm. (See whiteboard.)• Has your definition of diversity changed now? How?• In what ways can we be diverse?• Think: Does Vance have a diverse student body?– Share out.

Understanding Diversity• Diversity- the differences between a group of

people, places, or things• Types of diversity:– Religion– Race– Wealth– Gender– Sexuality– Socio-economic status

• How do we see diversity within this classroom?

History of Diversity in the U.S.• America is a nation made of immigrants.• Written on the Statue of Liberty:

Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,I lift my lamp beside the golden door!“

• What does this mean?

IMMIGRATION and NATURALIZATION• BY PAPERS: applying for citizenship, one of the

methods for becoming a citizen of the US– Recall: What are the other methods?

1. Sign statement2. Live in US for 5 yrs (green card)3. Be over 18 yrs old, live in state for at least 3 months4. Interview5. Citizenship exam6. Oath of allegiance

cultures, groups, and lifestyles strengthens America• TWO THEORIES OF MULTICULTURALISM:• Melting Pot Theory: when immigrants come to America they

should melt into one American society (be like everyone else)– Examples: Immigrants should all speak English, Native Americans

should cut their hair• Salad Bowl Theory: immigrants should keep their unique

cultures and differences but also join into American society– Ex. Little Italy, Chinatown, Little Haiti

How can we effectively participate in a diverse society?

• Tolerance, accepting of differences, and respecting other cultures, races, sexes, and so on.– In order to do this we need to begin talking about race,

ethnicity, and differences in order to learn about one another.

• UNFORTUNATELY… All of us have some type of generalizations formed in our heads about what race and ethnicity mean.

• Let’s play a game… Guess My Race• You will be shown several pictures …guess which

race the person belongs to…

Guess My Race?

• In groups of three, you will go around the room and try to guess the race of each of the people pictured.

• You must AGREE as a group.• We will go over this when we are done!

prompts, you do not need to.

EXIT TICKET

include questions that you don’t know the answer to.
