Multicultural Pavilion Awareness Activities
This is a multicultural awareness web cite where I first learned of some great exercises that I do now (with a little changes to fit my course). The Respect Exercise and Knowing the Community are both great exercises the first few days of classes, but there are other great ones on there as well. [Suggested by Judith Ouellette]
