Description : UNO students that are teacher candidates visit Benson High School two times each to observe the Benson ESL class that discusses culture and personal immigration stories. They sit in to listen to presentations and provide any insight on what culture means around the world. UNO students helped the ESL students learn what culture is and how to feel more confident expressing their culture in the classroom. This allows the UNO students to practice teacher education skills in real time. UNO students come to a final celebration to celebrate with students on their findings and personal interviews with someone they know about culture. P-16 service learning project TED 2050.002
