__Resources__:

[|I'm British cards.doc]

__Lesson__:

5 volunteers come to the front. Give them the 5 picture cards with the short texts. Give the rest of the cards to the rest of the class. Students at the front read their cards aloud. Category by category (Language, My religion, My Dad etc.), go through the cards the rest of the class are holding as students try to decide which person their card best matches. If they guess correctly, they give the card to the appropriate person at the front.

__Discussion__:

Britain is a multicultural society - What does this mean?

In what ways have the cultures of the families discussed affected our society in recent years? (music, food, buildings - mosques etc., religion, cinema....)

__Conclusion__:

Students could think about their own identities & think about what they bring to a multicultural society. Mind map.
