The group creates mosaics to represent the diversity within their community. Students identify on a map and in discussion the geographic location and culture of their ancestors. They explore reasons that people moved to the U.S. and discuss the importance of keeping their culture, like a mosaic, rather than losing their culture in order to "fit in." Students interview and write a story about a person in their family or community. They share their stories to celebrate the unique differences in people in the community.
