One activity I did at Fairmont State that was an example of culturally responsive teaching was that we each had to create a "Me Book" for Dr. Berryhill's class. The "Me Book" was similar to the photostory that we created. However, the "Me Book" was created liked a scrap book with pictures and text about ourselves. Many students included their interests, hobbies, families, pets, and future goals. It was a really nice activity for getting to know your classmates. Dr. Berryhill also suggested that we keep our "Me Books" on hand when going out into the schools. Having our books would be a good way to introduce ourselves to students.

I found this video on youtube that I really think connected well to the reading. It is about nine minutes long, but interesting to watch. It shows a teacher, who in my opinion really demonstrates what culturally responsive teaching should look like.
