Over the last few weeks, we've been working with verb forms and language to write a biography of an immigrant. This week, we'll finalize those. As we've learned through talking about ourselves and interviewing others, everyone's cultural identity is made of a variety of heritage and lived experiences. This week, we are going to start looking at how we see various cultures around us which will lead us into our next project, Traces of Culture. To begin, we are going to discuss the concept of cultural analysis and think of how we see (or don't see) cultures. Then, over the next several weeks, we will practice cultural analysis as we look for traces of several cultures throughout Latin America.
This week's learning outcomes are:
Communicative goals
Structural goals
