Walk a Day in My Shoes is a curricular project designed to provide a starting point for teachers to cultivate cross-cultural understanding among elementary-age students. In this curricular project, students created their own digital stories about a day spent in their shoes. Through photography, writing, and digital storytelling, each student re-created a typical day in their life. Then, these stories were shared and exchanged among six global classrooms in the United States, Morocco, France, Romania, Malaysia, and Ireland. The goal of this project was to support students in learning about others and, at the same time, learn about themselves as part of a global community. The author describes this project and presents other ways that teachers can use literacy to create cross-cultural experiences for their students.
