• know the basic components of culture (e.g., language, beliefs and customs, forms of shelter, education systems)

Activity

• Working in groups, the group will select a culture they wish to research. You may wish to offer suggestions (Chinese, Russian, Native American, British) according to the information or facilities available locally (library, resource centre, internet, etc.). Each group should prepare a presentation on the particular culture they research. Children should be encouraged to use a multimedia format for the presentation.

Assessment Tips from Old Tom the Turtle

• Observe the groups’ abilities to successfully research the culture and note the confidence and ease with which they prepare their presentations.
