Begining Draft of Bobbys Classroom activity outline

Title: The Diverse Cultures of the World

Objectives: I want my students to have some pride in their nationality and culture. I want them to learn about their cultures past and present. Once the students get a feel for their culture history, they can begin to understand and learn about other cultures, and still keep their identity and pride of their own. I want my students to change their attitudes towards other cultures, especially stereotyping minorities.

Prerequisite: I guess my students would need to have access to their history, nationality and cultural customs. They would obviously need some computer/typing skills for the writing part of the assignment.

Materials needed: Computer, Internet access, Power point, Word

Set up/Context:
- 10-grade world history class, or a geography class
- 2-3 weeks,
- One week for research, one for writing the assignment, one for presentation of assignments.
- The presentation will be in the classroom and research and prior writing at home.

Process/Instructions: I have not done the process or step-by-step procedures yet.

Outcomes: The student will have produced at the end of the project a 4-6-page essay on their particular nationality, a power point for a presentation, and a little knowledge of the other cultures in the world.

Evaluation: I am going to be taking notes throughout each student’s presentation, and I will copy or take the highlighted points from the student’s assignments and make a comprehensive test on what they learned about the cultures. I will have some multiple-choice questions and a short essay.

Follow Up: The follow up for this assignment will be another 1-2 week assignment that has to deal with a partner or other classmate’s nationality. I want to get the students view of other cultures and hopefully get them to learn something new about their classmate.

Resources: I have not had any idea of print or web resources yet, but this is a work in progress so I will have them soon. I think my reference page will be in APA or MLA whatever is the majority choice in the school I teach in.
