Comparing Cultures

Contributor :

Action Plan

Take pictures of children if possible and find pictures on the internet to supplement.

Pre-Departure Preparation

I teach first grade and our curriculum includes a study of other cultures. I will have my students compare children in Eastern European countries to themselves by creating PowerPoints showing pictures and descriptions of children in EE and pictures of themselves playing, eating and at school.

Preparation During Travel

I will research children’s diets, games and schools in EE countries.
