Cross cultural differences is a very important topic for ESL. Having an understanding or a willingness to understand other cultures is pivotal if you want to work with individuals from other cultures. The class activity provided examples of race, age, gender, and social context provided and variations between cultures. These examples will help me understand my students, when I enter the teaching profession.
My favorite activity in class was completing the lesson plans. I thought this was useful to think about the assignments that we will have to complete in the coming months. It helped keep my focused and organized on what i need to do. I thought the comments from the class were very beneficial in helping clear up any gray areas that might still be lingering.

Of course, it is important for ESL or EFL teachers to know the cultural differences. However, there is possibility that become stereotype if we generalize to much. I think the balance is important.
