IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS OF THE ACTIVITY USING THIS TOOL:
The activity called "cultural mosaic," is designed to be an inclusive and engaging way for
students to share and learn about different cultures. It uses Mentimeter to facilitate

interaction and ensure that every student's voice is heard, regardless of their ability to
communicate verbally or their comfort level in traditional classroom settings.
We start by setting up a Mentimeter word cloud where students can submit words or
phrases that describe their culture, we encourage them to think about food, traditions,

holidays, clothing, languages, etc.
As students submit their entries, the word cloud will populate in real-time, creating a visual
representation of the diverse cultures within the classroom. (10 min.)
Afterwards, we create a series of poll questions about different cultural practices. for

example:
• "What is a common greeting in your culture?"
• "Which traditional food do you enjoy the most?"
• "What is a significant holiday in your culture?"

Each question should have multiple-choice answers or an option for students to write in
their responses. (5 min.)
Use Mentimeter's Q&A feature for students to anonymously submit questions about their

peers' cultures. select a few questions to discuss.
Polls and word clouds: start the class with a poll or word cloud activity where students can
share their thoughts or experiences on a given topic. This can help build a sense of
community and make students more comfortable.
