In another exercise, students put labels on their foreheads with instructions for how their fellow students were to react. Those with labels like, “Say hi,” “Pat my “back,” and “Give me a high five,” were left feeling very good about themselves. Tia Cosgrove, whose label said, “Turn away,” reacted differ- ently. “I felt bad, left out, sad and disappointed,” she said. Pat McLane, a volunteer from Blue Cross of Northeastern PA, asked students in Linda Joseph's class to work in groups to make up a different looking fish. The three fish drawn on the black- board did not look typical in any way as they sported Afros, goat- ees, wings, and fangs. That made an impression on Tiffany Gebhart. “I found out that everybody is supposed to look different,” she said. “It would be boring if they didn’t.” The annual Day of Cultural Sharing commemorates Martin Luther King Day. “I found that the students here really knew a lot about Dr. King and diversity,” said McLane. “They were very receptive and someone had an answer for each of the questions I asked.” Perhaps the most poignant question of the day, though, came from a fifth grade student. “How come they separated peo- ple in the first place?” Michael Mulea wanted to know. The assignment was to draw a fish that was different, so with specific instructions from his group, Brandon Rome drew a picture of a cross-eyed fish, complete with an Afro, fat lips, fangs, wings, arms and legs, a goatee, horns and a motor tail. This group of students worked closely to decide what elements FOR THE FOST/ME, GILLIGAN their “diverse fish’ should have.
