Multiculturalism and Assimilation • There are two different ways to think about cultural mosaics!! • What is Multiculturalism? • Multiculturalism is the acceptance of many different cultures in a specific place (like a city or country). One culture is not said to be better than another culture. • Example: Our Classroom and Cochrane Middle School
Multiculturalism and Assimilation • What is Assimilation? • Assimilation is the belief that there is one culture that is better than all the rest, and that everyone else should change their culture to match the “best” culture.
Primary Sources: Becoming the historian • Primary sources provide first-hand accounts or direct evidence about a topic that you are investigating. • They are created by people who experienced the events or conditions being documented. Often these sources are created at the time when the events actually happened. • Examples: Stories, Photographs, Artwork, Video footage • Why do we use them? Why are they better than using a textbook?
