INTRODUCTION:
We live in a society that is multicultural. Therefore, there is the need to eliminate the problem of people not knowing about the different cultures in our society. Culture awareness is a topic that needs to be implemented in our schools. Students need to become culturally aware so that they can know how to relate to others.
TASK PROCESS/RESOURCES
One way in which people represent their culture is by their dress. Native Americans, Africans, and Japanese all have a unique dress that represents their culture. Students will work in groups and use pictures to represent different countries.
