Culture Celebration

Grade Level:
3
Subject:
Communication Arts/Social Studies
Topic:
Celebrate Your Culture
Objective:
Students will gain an understanding of culture, through a PowerPoint and class discussion.

Students will engage in conversation of culture, as well as discuss their own cultures with their classmates, gaining respect for individual and group differences.

Students will participate in a Virtual Reality experience that allows them to explore and appreciate a variety of cultures.

Students will gain respect for all cultures and show their understanding of the lesson by creating a picture that correlates to their culture.

Students will see their growth of knowledge and understanding of culture, by answering the same question before and after the lesson.
Prep:
Prepare the materials: A PowerPoint concerning culture will be created for the students to gain an understanding of culture. With the assistance of an instructional technology coordinator, the Virtual Reality activity will be prepped and ready for student use. Drawing materials and paper will be set on a desk, before the class, so the students can complete their assessment on time when the class arrives at that point in the lesson. Two questions will be created and posted at appropriate times, on Google Classroom, so the students can have access to answer the questions on time.

Prepare the environment: The desks will be set up in a u-shaped format, so all students can fully participate in all aspects of the lesson, and the u-shaped desk arrangement will allow for the appropriate amount of open space for the Virtual Reality activity.

Prepare the learners: Students will be prepared for each aspect of the lesson during the lesson.

Prior Preparation: Students will submit an answer to the question, What is culture?, on Google Classroom that will be due before class begins. This same question will be asked after the lesson, on Google Classroom, and due the next day, so the students' growth of knowledge and understanding of culture can be assessed.
