 * Identifies some of the influences of technology on cultural change, eg television, Internet, satellite, shortwave radio, fax
 * Examines how cultural diversity causes cultural change, including conflict situations
 * Explores cultural change in their country of origin or in a country of interest

__Task One - started in 45 min class completed at home (one week)__
 * This lesson will take place in the library to enable students to have access to resources from both the Internet and books.
 * The teacher must ensure that each student has a culture to research and it is recorded so that students don't change
 * Make sure the students are taking intuitive and most of the direction - only facilitate the learning
 * In regards to timing - the teacher should make sure the bulk to the research is done within this time to ensure that teh creative work (the Prezi) will be done at home

__Task two - started in 45 min class completed at home (one week)__
 * Through the first task the students would have gathered a basic background knowledge of thier chosen culture, this task is about honing in on one key area to gain a deeper understanding about the culture
 * This task is to allow student chose their own area of interest allowing them to be fully engaged in the topic
 * The timing allocation of this lesson is really up to the student with this task - it is completely student driven with very little assistance by the teacher

__Task three -started in 45 min class completed at home (two weeks)__
 * This task gets the students to critically analyse the reasons for change within their culture
 * They should already have sufficient knowledge about the cultures they are studying to be able to develop their own opinions and ideas about the loss of culture.
 * in the 45min lesson the wordpress should be set up with the help of the teacher - we allocated two weeks of time for students to complete this at home within homework time so that students will have enough time to give in-depth answers.
