It is very important to learn Native American culture. For example, some tribes consider it rude to look someone in the eye. Therefore, when students are giving oral presentations, they may not look at their audience. They may be looking at the floor. This isn't how we teach to give an effective presentation, but the students culture states that this is what they should do. How would you handle this in your own classroom?

  1. wear dark glasses

    and a burkha

    and use a ventriliquist's dummy


  2. I would turn around, or looked beneath the waist or out in the window. Or I would place a divider between me and students.  

  3. tell them that you wouldn't think that it is rude if they look you in the eyes but explain why they need to to get a good grade in that subject ok also tell them that you are not in the same cultrue so that shouldn't matter only to people in that cultrue.. Thats tough I would and can only answer like I did GOOD LUCK
