    What is the point of teaching culture, anyway? Is it to get kids to realize that people are different? (They already do.) Is it to get them to try a new food? ( Lengua, eww, gross. Does that have peanuts in it?) No, cultural awareness is more about perspective-taking.

    Forgive me while I brainstorm in public a moment. Almost four years ago I created this rubric, based on the ACTFL guidelines and the Jefferson County (KY) Public Schools' world language rubric. I loved it. It's one of my most requested resources. I used it for years.

Each lesson has clearly stated cultural objectives that indicate what students will be able to do and what they need to know by lesson's end.

    Credit: William Duke Have you ever plunked yourself down in a staff meeting where some of your colleagues were, for lack of a better phrase, not paying attention? Grading homework? Having private conversations? Texting? As we know all too well, kids aren't a whole lot different than adults: If they aren't absorbed by what's going on, they'll find something else that interests them.
