Saitama JALT:

Cultures Alive! Multicultural Education for Children

Date: Sunday, October 21st, 2001 Time: 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Speaker: Michele Milner

Description:
Michele Milner will show how folk stories and folkdances can be used to teach multicultural concepts. Engaging folk stories allow children to view the world through the eyes of a new culture. Hands-on activities include cooperative methods of re-telling and dramatizing the stories. Folkdances, the dance of the common people, provide a kinesthetic learning experience about culture and communicate emotions through rhythm and movement. Creative movement activities then allow the students to reinterpret and internalize language concepts.
