My Story narrative is a time for you to discuss the aspects of your culture which have attributed to who you are today as well as your goal to become an educator.  Keep in mind that you need to make connections with the concepts that you have read about throughout the readings.

II.            Identity descriptors and socializing agents.

A.    List 2 or more identity descriptors that you feel are the most privileged and least privileged (oppressed) in your life (total of 4).  Explain your choices by describing personal experiences that have led you to come to your way of thinking.  In addition, you need to support your information with a citation (correct APA citation from the book or other source).

B.    Based on the identity descriptors you selected, investigate the socializing agent behind the privilege and the oppression you discuss.

III.            Identify privilege and oppression. Think about one privileged aspect of your identity and replace it with one that is not privileged.  (for example:  if you subscribe to a religion that is privileged as is Christianity in the U.S. replace it with one that is less privileged like ISLA or Judaism; if you are white, replace your identity race/ ethnicity with another.  How would your life change?  How do you think you would have been treated in school, represented in the news or in the school curriculum?  What would be the most challenging aspects of your life with this different identity descriptor? If you dont feel that you have aspects of your identity that are privileged, explain why and do the opposite of this item (change the identity descriptor in which you feel oppressed to one of privilege).  This discussion should be a minimum of 200 words.

IV.            Conclusion: Conclude your story with your (Multicultural Activity My story narrative part 2) by sharing 3 commitments related to social justice that you will look for to expand your cultural diversity repertoire to prepare you for your role as an educator.  What do you feel you need to explore more in order to help you develop relationships with your future students to help them feel valued, safe and motivated in the classroom?

A.    This is the part where you would have included the cultural diversity activity (My Story Narrative part 2), described your activity and included artifacts.  Since you cannot participate in this, describe what activity you planned on doing to suffice this requirement.
