Activities that I would do in my classroom with International and Multicultural

International
1. After reading the book, I would make my students write a journal stating what they learned from the reading.
2. I get my students to do a play so they could get idea of how felt leave in those times depending on the book they read.

Mulitcultural:
1.The students would have a certain child of anther country and they would have to do research on that country. So we do Children around the world project.
2.I would give them title of books and they would choose and do a bookreport of the book. I would let them read then start writing about the story and share it with their classmates.
