The strategies the podcast offered here are practical and ones we should all reflect on. I especially enjoyed the conversation around examining our media intake. This would be an interesting exercise to share with students, too, because as they say in the discussion it's an "intimate" way of connecting with people outside of your circle, but because of this, we need to be cognizant of who we are interacting with most. This applies to their cross-cultural interaction in TV, film, books, too. I love how the hosts discussed how important informal conversations can be during classtime to make sure we connect with students outside of our curriculum. The This-or-That question is a great idea! The last takeaway from this section for me is language inclusivity. I like the idea of encouraging students, especially ENL students in my English 10 sections, to be able to turn and talk in their own language.
