As I prepare for my travels overseas, I want to see how many of my 5th Grade students are following my blog site, but anybody is welcome to comment on this post. For ten extra credit points in Social Studies, my 5th Grade students should answer the following questions and turn them into the box as Extra Credit-Bangladesh 101. The questions were created by my travel partner for the trip, Mr. Jack Streclec.
1. What are some things that define a culture?
2. What do you like about your native culture?
3. What in your culture are you most proud of?
4. Who in your culture do you admire most?
5. What does it mean to be polite in your culture?
6. What in your culture is considered rude?
7. What do you think is important, when visiting or interacting with another culture?
To Mr. Theobald's classes, I am very curious on your thoughts about these questions as well. As I grow older and wiser, I realize that our connection with the world is only an epal, skype call or a exchange program away. How we response to each other will only represent our culture? How do others see the culture that we represent. Please comment on these questions if you wish.
