Dear  colleagues,

I have a colleague who is currently engaging her grades 6/7  class in a 
conversation on the meaning of "diversity".  Demographically,  the class is 
entirely Anglo-Saxon in a school where there are practically no  students of other 
cultural backgrounds.  She was hoping to get her  students involved in dialogue 
about all issues that arise in relation to  diversity among people.

If you would be able to recommend any online  literature for students in this 
age grouping that could get them thinking more  deeply about this topic, it 
would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in  advance for your assistance.

Regards,
Bernadette
