. Students are given examples of other cultures
and will become more cognizant of the diverse cultures that are within their classroom and see
the way people celebrate in many ways. As the students were brainstorming during the lesson,
the students were able to see and understand that their peers may celebrate in a different way
than they do. As the class was discussing openly and freely, it could lead to acceptance and a
