I believe this lesson culturally relevant and increases awareness for the students for many reason. The assignment will require students to explore diverse cultures and perspectives through their research while will expose them to countries all over the world. Additionally, the activity connects with real-world traditions that will require students to share these experiences with their peers. Furthermore, with the equitable access provided within the classroom, this lesson will impact all the different types of learners while also ensuring the integration of technology as a tool with the assignment!
