Cultural+Diversity

__Objective__: Begin to understand diversity in society and the contributing factors (language, food, religion, cinema etc.)

__Intro__: Tell students where you were born. AM TRYING TO WORK OUT HOW TO ATTACH THE CARDS FOR THIS LESSON!

__Activity__:

Ask for 5 volunteers and give them the 5 picture cards with the small amount of text. Ask them to stand at the front. Ask them to read their cards aloud.

Give the rest of the class the remaining cards (if there are too many for one each, do this in stages).

Going through the categories (My Language/My Religion/My Dad etc.) ask the students if they can guess which person their card is describing. They must then read out the key information that provided the clue(s) &, if correct, give their clue to the appropriate person standing.

Continue with each category.

Question: Britain is a multi-cultural society. What does this mean?

Question: In what ways have the cultures of the children discussed affected our society in recent years? (food, new buildings - e.g. mosques, music, media etc.)

Conclusion: Students could think of what characteristics are peculiar to them & think of how their culture has affected our society in recent years.

Alternatively, they could come up with a mind-map of what it means to them to be from wherever they may be from. e.g. What does it mean to be British?
