Leigh Ann Lane commented on Tonya Webber's blog post 'Week 5 Painting'
Tonya, What a great painting! I agree that it's a festival of some sort that celebrates a different culture. The period of dress and the personal styles (from the women's hair to the guys' beards) also encourage me to infer this is not an American c…

Eric Broer commented on Tiffany Schaefer's blog post 'Cosmopolitanism in Schools -Week 4'

Eric Broer replied to John Lee's discussion 'Music and global learning: A cosomopolitan experience?'
It would be interesting to find music/lyrics about right of passages from different cultures. When I talk to students about this, they don't really understand since American teens have few cultural, defined passages.
