=== The purpose of this activity is to involve our students in multicultural classes. A barrier that some students feel in the classroom is the limitation of express from where they come from. If at the beginning of the year the teacher give the opportunity to the students to express where they come from, that open door to other students understand why other students are how they are. Remember each student is what they hear, what they see, what they practice in home, what they eat, etc. My video open topics like history, not just the history of Puerto Rico but also involve history of USA, Spain, Africa, native culture, etc. In my video is also included from what part of Puerto Rico I am, with the purpose of show the students that I am proud of where I come from. Also my video is an opportunity to express diversity and to open the eyes of the students. Teaching them the world is more than a simple place. This video can motivate students to realize internships during their student lives. Furthermore, I illustrated localization, which could open door to activities like to look in the World Atlas etc. Moreover at the beginning I add measures and population, two important topics that can open doors to mathematics and statistics activities. ===

=== The video added to this activity complement my video perfectly, because add in live what I was talking about, music, flora, fauna, artists and proud. Also have subtitles in Spanish, in that way we can add language class. In this video they can listen and read at the same time what the singer Mark Anthony is singing. This could help to open some activities like identify words and look for it in the dictionary, diction activities, writing activities, etc. In addition, with young students we can talk about what is the ocean, what is a beach, the components of watter like H2O etc. I think a video like this one is for all kind of student. ===
