Culture Comparison Presentation

Presentation: Comparing your three cultures

Choose one cultural category to compare across all three cultures (two for 6th graders).  Make a detailed slideshow to share with others (probably students from Ms. Newton’s classes or 4-5th graders from Adobe Acres).  Present it out loud  OR make a video presentation (warning: this can be great if you know how to do it, but it is more time consuming).

FOR EACH CULTURE:

1. Use images to illustrate all of your examples and ideas!
2. What are the most interesting and unique aspects of this category? (Describe in detail and explain how you think they are significant).
3. What particular human behaviors (actions, traditions, rituals, etc.) are unique to to your cultural category?
4. How has it changed over time?
5. How do other aspects of culture relate to or influence this category?
6. What values are demonstrated? Give and explain evidence.
7. Data Comparison: make a graph of data from your 3 cultures and explain what it means.
8. How is this category similar and different to the other cultures?
