A Journey Through Angie's Mind

The name of my families orgin will be Poland! One thing I will do to make sure my new student feels right at home when she comes into my classroom is to: Make sure my individual lesson plan is geared to helping them adapt to their new environment. Make sure I'm aware of my own biases when it comes to different cultural I will also make sure I have different displays of their cultural and books around the classroom. Make sure I'm open to different ways of teaching that might need to done in order to make the transition easier on both parent and child Finally having a packet ready and also translated for them just incase they cant quite understand or read english yet. With these preparations in mind I hope it will bring me and my new family and student closer together. This will help our relationship start off on the right path and build trust.

Even though its been years since this has happened and most Muslims are now Americans United States still feel the need to take extra precautions.

The normal female is dressed in pants with their cleavage out and head uncovered so they jumped to the conclusion which was she's a Muslim. They kept saying oh you must be a muslim why cant we see no skin sweetheart, without even knowing they had dehumanized me with their words. Just being typically men of the world not being opened to something out of the normal for them to see on a female. I felt disrespected that they felt i needed to dress a certain way to appeal to their eye. The only eye I'm trying to appeal to is God and my future husband! With this happening to me it just made me realize even the more how messed up this world is to things not of the normal to them. We judge and joke around without even knowing the effects we are leaving on people who liv...
