It has been my experience in previous classes that this particular assignment can be confusing to some students. There are two (2) aspects of this weeks assignment, both of which you are required to submit in order to receive full credit for the assignment.

Format references consistent with APA guidelines.
When selecting the six ethnic groups to complete the Multicultural Matrix, I expect you to put forth some effort. Do not submit the matrix with one line in the box, please take the time to give me examples of the groups practices might be and give me an example or two of what it is that you admire about the group. Do not give me one or two words and think that fulfills the requirement of the assignment. The expectation is for you to do some critical thinking and analysis of the different cultures.
