ABSTRACT
Reflexivity involves the students engaging in a self-study, which may be completed through the following activities: identifying critical identities, identifying injustices, participating in individual meetings, and listening to guest speakers' lived experiences. An acrostic poem is a poem in which the first, last, or other letters in a line spell out a particular word or phrase. Some teachers used a "cultural identity mapping" exercise so their students could identify how cultural identities that are important to them are included and excluded in school and society. The goal of this activity is to again highlight cultural power differentials that disproportionally enable some cultural identities to freely participate and restrict other cultural identities from free participation. The students engage several activities to consider the importance of story and voice, specifically how individual voices provide "incomplete" stories while multiple voices provide "complete" stories.
