General ways that students differ
Chapter 3 begins its focus on diversity by discussing nine general ways in which students differ (culture/ethnicity/race, religion, gender, language, motivation, academic self-concept, temperament, learning styles, and reading ability). Briefly explain how students in any four of these areas may differ from one another making reference to specific distinctions discussed in the text. Next, describe three ways that having such diversity within a class may have significant implications for your work as a teacher. Construct your response in terms of the four general areas of diversity you first discussed. Finally, identify strategies you can use to prepare yourself to better address these implications.
