An excellent way to find out more about sociocultural differences is by being creative; doing games and activities that involves sociocultural, linguistic and ethnic characteristics with students. Doing that the teacher would be able to learn more about each student and from there will be better to accommodate them, not affecting learning. Teachers should know as much as they can about their students in order to interact and have a variety of techniques of teaching for students to learn. One activity that I really like was the one that we did in class, by taking steps back and forward, by this activity I realized a lot of things that I wouldn’t ever imagine about my classmates. I feel comfortable because I wasn’t the only one who had the same situation. I tried this activity with my high school students and they had a lot in common. With that activity I understood a lot of things from my students, such as; why do they act the way they do, and why their personality is like that. Etc.
I am glad you were able to "practice" the privilege walk!
