Task
You will be split into groups of three to four, and will learn about another culture. Your group will research:
- Holidays
- Meeting/Greeting
- How they dress
- Language
- Food
- Facts and statistics
After researching, your group will put together a presentation to teach the rest of the class about this country and their culture. We will have a culture day on Friday April 27, 2012. On this day, each group will present what they have learned. Each group will also have the opportunity to dress up like how people from their country would, and bring a cultural food from their country to share with the class.
After learning about the different countries and cultures, you will get to actually write to someone from that country. We will have pen pals from all over the world. We will first learn how to write a friendly letter during writing time, and then will use what we have learned about other cultures to communicate effectively with our new friends.
