Give an example of how you might use children's funds of knowledge to teach a lesson on renewable energy (e.g. solar energy or wind energy)
What will be an ideal response?
Luis Moll's work on Funds of Knowledge relies on identifying and building upon the strengths of a family's culture (cultural tools) rather than thinking about culture as a deficit or something that needs to be remediated. Funds of knowledge are described as "the understandings and skills developed over generations that families need to function." For example, a people's funds of knowledge may tap into extensive understanding about hunting, carpentry, first aid, selling loans, ranching, car repairs, and more. A teacher might rely upon the Navajo people's understanding of the Sacred Mountains to teach about wind patterns and the best location to place wind turbines.
