Although this project was not in elementary or middle school but in grade 10, I still thought it was a good way to include culture in the classroom. Within this project, students needed to dive into their heritage and look at their culture by mapping their family and interviewing their family members. If students did not feel comfortable mapping their own heritage, they could look at a culture throughout Canada’s history.

            I believe that this project increases cultural appreciation within the classroom since it has students looking into their own culture and asking their family members for their own experiences. There is not one race that has more power over the other since students are looking into their own history and what makes them unique. If students were to choose to trace a culture through Canada’s history, I still do not believe that it would be cultural appreciation since students would be looking at the history and the oppression or relationships between the culture and the European Settlers.
