SUMMER PROJECT
Culture Kits
To learn about another person's culture, you have to be aware of how that person behaves (what she or he does) and what that person believes.
All the people of the world have many things in common, including families, schools, governments, a form of religion, and celebration days. What makes up a person's culture is what that person does and what that person believes about his or her family, school, government, religion, and celebration days.
To Create a Culture Kit, Follow These Steps:
1. Choose and read a nonfiction book about a family or person from a culture other of your choice.
2. Choose six items to put into your Culture Kit box.
3. On the next page in the numbered space for each item, list the item and explain why it is important in the culture you read about.
4. Be prepared to give a short speech to your classmates about the things in your Culture Kit box. Please color or decorate your box to look like the country's flag.
Please complete the Following Information on Your Culture.
Directions: Below, write the name of each item in your Culture Kit and explain why it is important in the culture you've read about.
