Subject:
English
Age: 13/14
Aims/goals:
The goal is to make pupils gaining knowledge about the cultures in there class.
This knowledge would help the pupils to be more open minded and to respect
other cultures within and outside the classroom.
Activity/
description: Pupils with the same
culture form a group and maybe minor cultures form a mixed group.
This
activity investigates a different culture than your own. Every group gets a
country, they have to choose a subtopic (food, religion, etc.) and gain
information about it. Once they have their information, they will prepare a
presentation, which will be evaluated by the student of the investigated
country.
Approach:
group investigation
Why: We
settled this approach for several reasons. One is that they have to do research
in English – they have to read, to write and to speak. Also it is very
important that the children learn about the other cultures that appear in
class. If the know more about the different cultures, they can understand their
classmates‘ customs and respect each other.
Another good
part of the group investigation is the feedback. It is good that the children
evaluate each other, so they can learn how to give constructive feedback.
