Define culture
Using one academic article per cultural group, discuss the following practices for each assigned cultural group. The assigned cultural groups are listed after the practices. In other words, for each cultural group listed below, discuss points 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 (the practices) listed below. I would create a separate slide for each cultural group and on the slide explain how the group handles the 8 different practices.
Here are the practices:
Nutrition
Sleep arrangements
Discipline
Family roles (who is in charge of the children) and structure (do extended family members live with family)
Health practices (medical care, bathing, etc.)
Communication styles
Religion
Individualist culture (family values independence for the baby) or collectivist culture (family values, group harmony, and interdependence)
Here are the assigned cultural groups:
Latino
Asian
African American
Native American
Caucasian
One additional cultural group of your choice
Next, write discussing points 1 and 2 below:
Discuss what the cultural groups have in common and how they are different.
Discuss the importance of cultural group family practices to the teacher within the early learning setting.
