Here is what you will need to do for the culture assignment:
This paper will require you to research and explore a country of your choice. You may work with one other person for this assignment. Each person will choose a separate topic to research on his or her country. For example one person could research his or her country’s traditions while the other person researches the country’s food. I would like each person to research two topics for his or her country. You want to focus on the country’s culture; what elements contribute to that culture? You will find many interesting ideas when researching different aspects of your country.
This paper should be a minimum of three pages in length, you will be able to find plenty of information to write about for this assignment.
Together you will complete a poster board that will display pictures, specific facts and anything else that you find interesting about your country. You will only need one poster between partners.
Together you will also complete a brochure that displays different areas of the country along with interesting facts, details and activities that a person could do if they were to travel to that particular place. You must include specific facts about your country in your brochure. It should be vibrant and colorful! You may also display other elements on your brochure. Anything that you find particularly interesting!
Along with your poster and brochure, I would like you to bring in a popular food within that region. We will bring in food towards the end of the project after the papers are handed in. After finishing the paper you will bring to class your brochure, poster board, and food which will be displayed around the room. This will give you a wonderful opportunity to learn about different cultures and gain a taste of ethnic foods!
