Module 3
I Can Be Different
Overview
MODULE GOAL:
The purpose of this module is to provide the opportunity for students to explore the
dynamics of living and working in diverse groups. They will have the opportunity to
explore and appreciate individual differences as well as various cultures and cultural
traits. They will explore differences at the personal and group level and determine how
differences impact the school setting.
MODULE ASSESSMENT:
The students will write a letter to an international exchange student who is coming to the
United States to attend their middle school. The letter will explain what most American
students already know about the international exchange student’s culture, differences the
international exchange student should anticipate in the American school setting, and what
the U.S. culture is like.
Teachers may want to create their own module assessment and/or allow students to
design their own, provided the teacher approves it ahead of time.
