2 Applying Diversity Research For this research, I created one lesson plan designed to integrate English Language Arts (ELA) with a focus on cultural change and immigration. This plan enhances students' reading comprehension skills while expanding their understanding of the impact of cultural change and immigration on society. The use of appropriate literary works, various teaching techniques, and meaningful discussions is aimed at helping students develop critical thinking skills, empathy, and cultural awareness. In general, the plan is well-structured and thoughtfully designed, with the potential to positively impact students' learning outcomes. It is a comprehensive approach to teaching emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary learning, which is crucial for preparing students for the real world. Overall, this lesson plan is an excellent example of using innovative teaching methods to achieve academic objectives. It represents a significant contribution to the field of education and demonstrates a deep understanding of the importance of cultural understanding and appreciation in today's increasingly interconnected world. My lesson plan will be for my tenth-grade English Language Learners (ELLs) at Deerfield Beach High School (DBHS). The poem I have selected is an exemplary representation of the continuous and enduring nature of cultural changes, regardless of their character, whether positive or negative. It is essential to note that this phenomenon has been a constant occurrence throughout human history, and it is not limited to a specific geographic location or time. Cultural changes are frequently shaped by a range of factors, including economic, political, social, and environmental conditions, and their effects may vary based on the circumstances. Therefore, it is crucial to study and understand these changes to gain insights into the complex interplay between diverse cultural forces and their effects on society. Brown and Broemmel (2011) mention that proficient reading in English is a challenging task for native speakers, and it poses even greater

3 difficulty for individuals who are still developing their English language proficiency. This is especially true for English Language Learners (ELLs) who grapple with the nuances of the language. As such, reading comprehension for ELLs can be an arduous and time-consuming task. Lesson Plan In this instructional unit, students will be given the opportunity to examine the evolution of Native American culture over time, with the intention of promoting critical thinking about the impact of change. Through the exploration of diverse cultures, the objective is to foster an appreciation for the inherent value of cultural differences and to encourage reflection on both the positive and negative ramifications of cultural transformation. This plan is designed for a five- day class. Table 1: Lesson Plan Lesson Title: Without Tittle Content Area(s): English Language Arts Grade Level(s): 10 th grade Overview of Lesson: As part of their curriculum, students will engage in a poetry listening session, accompanied by the Into Literature Florida textbook. Also, students will be given copies of the poem in their native languages. During the session, the poem will be read aloud in English, while the teacher poses questions to assess comprehension. Subsequently, the students will collaborate to respond to the questions and conduct research on cultural transformations. Diversity of Total Group: Within this class, I have multiple native languages, including Creole, French, Spanish, and Portuguese. Most students in this class have been residing in the United States for a duration exceeding two years. Description of Target Subgroup:

4 10 th grade English Language Learners Learning Standards and Objectives: ELA.10.R.1.2 Understand Cultural and Historical Context ELA.10.R.1.1 Analyze Setting ELA.10.C.1.5 Improve writing by considering feedback from adults, peers, and/or online editing tools, revising to address the needs of a specific audience. ELA.10.C.4.1 Research Cultural Change Essential Question: What differences can’t be bridged? Centerpiece Concept(s), Idea(s), Significant Question(s), Theme(s), Arts Connection(s), etc. if the Lesson is Curriculum-integrated: The lesson centers around the fundamental question of "What are the differences that can be bridged?" The students will be guided towards the analysis and critical thinking of the subject matter. Multicultural Features: My classes are translated into the four native languages of my students, even though the paraprofessionals are not physically present in my classroom. I will translate the poem into Portuguese, French, and Creole, in addition to the system-provided Spanish translation. This way, after reading the poem in English, my students will be able to understand it in their respective native languages . Culturally Responsive Features: Students will be exposed to a poem in English followed by a recitation in their respective native languages, thereby facilitating an inclusive and participatory reading experience. For answering questions, students may leverage Google translator; however, they must articulate their responses in English. UDL-Supported Remediation and Accommodation Strategies:  During the reading activity, the reader will demonstrate and teach practical reading strategies such as how to use expression and voice to convey meaning and the importance of comprehension supports to enhance understanding.
