Description/Annotation

This lesson fosters an appreciation of America’s ethnic and religious diversity. As students explore and share their own family roots, they learn about those of the teens in AMERICAN MUSLIM TEENS TALK. Students symbolically increase the diversity of their classroom when each student writes an imaginary letter to one youth in the video, welcoming them into their school. For use with video: American Muslim Teens Talk at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZXr8vBkFpM.
