Abstract	This publication contains classroom activities dealing with cultural awareness for grades two through 12. The materials are intended to help students develop positive attitudes about cultural differences, recognize the roles of self and culture in fostering and inhibiting cultural interaction and awareness, and develop an awareness of when change needs to occur so that people can fully realize their growth potential. The activities are varied. Students read handouts, are involved in class discussions, role play, examine statements containing stereotypes, and fill out questionnaires. The activities are organized into three major sections. Section one deals with stereotyping and helps students examine what they believe and why they believe it. In section two students examine how culture affects our behavior and who we are. The third section contains activities designed to raise students' consciousness about discrimination and racism. The activities are self-contained and all handouts are included. The following are provided for each activity: an introduction, objectives, grade level, time needed, materials, teaching procedures, discussion questions, and evaluation techniques. (Author/RM)
