Technology in the classroom provides a wealth of opportunities for students to learn about multiculturalism! I have selected a music video by K’Naan for the children to watch. His video, “Wavin’ Flag” demonstrates a variety of cultures and a unique style of song and dance. Throughout the video, K’Naan expresses for the people to wave their flag and be proud of where they are from. I chose this video because it is an excellent example of why you should honor your culture and heritage. (The song was used as the anthem for the 2010 World Cup!)
Lyrics – So students can read the lyrics too!
After children have viewed the music video and read the lyrics, I will invite children to create a flag that reflects the country his or her family is from. On the back of the flag, students will describe what the colors symbolize.
Our flag would look like a recycling symbol and stand for unified efforts against pollution!
