Culture Presentations – Multicultural Literature
This semester we will be reading, talking and learning about a variety of different
cultures around the world. In order to develop a sense of appreciation and knowledge of
these cultures, we will be putting together a group multimedia presentation.
-At the end of the presentations, we will be answering this essential question:
If you had to live or move to a different part of the world, which culture would best suit
your needs for the human condition?
