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.
