Cultural dilemma’s often revolve around the integration and adaptation of different ways of living that are in contrast to the accepted traditional way of life. One area where this often occurs is with cultures dealing with cultural diversity. Use the Two Voice Digital Story Telling Technique to:
- Write two stories about the first day of school from the perspective of someone in the classroom who has to look after a new student from a foreign place; and from the perspective of the new child that has come to this new school.
- Write about an incident in the playground that involves sharing something from the perspective of someone who is in the minority group at school; and someone who is in the majority group..
- Tell two stories of an incident that happened at school that did not involve either of the protagonists but who go home to tell their version of what they saw and heard, to their respective families. One is from a minority group and the other from a different minority group.
