Course objective: Students will recognize and accommodate gender and cultural differences in communication settings and appreciate diverse communication styles. HIP: Collaborative Assignments and Projects. Students will learn about what aspects of culture are important to their peers through self-disclosure. 

Purpose/Rationale

Instructions

Pair students up randomly. They will share with each other examples of their culture. Students will select one aspect about their partner’s culture and create a presentation about it using a digital tool that they will share with the class. Could be PPT with narration, Canva, etc. Culture is an important part of all of our lives and by asking students to share about their own culture, we’ll learn about each other and strengthen classroom bonds. 

Format Requirements

Students will create a 2-minute presentation 

Rubric/Criteria

I will create a rubric to measure how well students utilize a digital tool to tell the story of culture from a classmate’s perspective.
