Photo by Susan ArensmanJoseph Dunn, seventh-grade teacher at Marshall Middle School, is teaching his students about the culture of Bangladesh with the voice of experience. Dunn recently returned from that country, as one of two teachers in the U.S. selected to be part of a teacher exchange program through Relief International Schools Online. Dunn has shared with his students about life in Bangladesh, including the music, the clothes, the religion and the food.
One day he had his students sample different snacks from Bangladesh, including Dal, fried peas, charachur and chutney. The students were asked to write reviews of the snacks. Some students liked the items and some didn't, but Dunn stressed the important thing was to try them.
"The best way to learn about a different country and culture is to experience it," Dunn said. "These kids weren't able to go, but they were excited to hear about my trip. It makes that country a real place to them."
Dunn communicated with his students on-line during his trip. He kept a blog and posted videos of different places and schools that he visited.
Dunn’s students have been involved in a cultural exchange with a school in Bangladesh since the beginning of the school year. The students have communicated via the internet and mailed items to each other to explain what life and customs are like in their countries. Dunn’s students also have shared items with students in Israel, Spain, Brazil and Taiwan.
