last lesson of culture and indentity

Today is our final lesson. We improved the powerpoint by improving the fonts and adding more information to the powerpoint. We also had to write a script.
We also went to another class on period 4 and presented our presentation to cheryl, sarah and renee.

interview

In period 2, we had to create an action plan which involved us researching or moving around. We decided that me and Ho Chi go interview while Ryan stays in the classroom to research.

In our group, me and Ho Chi (timekeeper) made some questions for a questionnaire which we then went around the school asking teachers to answer our questions while Ryan did some research in the room. We asked a lot of different teachers. Even the cafeteria lady!

We carried on interviewing teachers in period 4 for a while and went all the way up to the P.E office and got stuck in the lift with Ms Parry so we asked her some questions. We went around for half an hour in period 4 then went back to the classroom.

The Meaning Of Culture And Identity

Culture

Culture is basically a person’s belief systems and traditions shared by a group of people. thus you can get culture at all levels from the micro family unit to the macro level of country. Culture is also defined as a way that people interact with each other. And the meaning of culture is therefore the way that different people. It changes one forever by changing the way they interact with daily life and how they interact with others and their lives.

Identity

Identity according to most people is the way a person is and what makes them who they are. What they are and what sort of person they are be it the way they act or the way they behave. It can also extend to smaller things such as the language they speak, where they come from or the way they write. It can also determine the way a person acts or feels in his or her own mind such as emotions. The way a person feels which in turn affects the way they act so it also affects your identity. It may also include other things like hobbies, interests or passions.

11/6/09 2nd half

In this 2nd half, we carried on doing the rubricks and voting. we also talked about it. In the last 20 min, we discussed and researched on what the words culture and identity meant.
In the 4th period, we carried on researching on the meaning of identity and culture for the whole lesson. I was researching about the meaning of identity. I used websites like wikipedia, dictionary.com etc.

The picture on the right shows what I think about the meaning of identity.

In these 4 lessons today, i have managed to understand more about the meaning of identity and culture.

11/6/09 Reflection

Today, everyone in class did a show and tell. We introduced one item we brought from home and we said what impact it had on our identity and culture. I brought a chopstick because it had something to do with my culture and my identity.
Many people showed things related to their hobbies or nationality.

I think the similarities in culture and identity is that what you do is part of your identity and your culture affects what you do alot.

I think the difference is that you can change your culture because it is what you belive in and what you do. But your identity cannot be changed as much as culture, because if you are from china, you are from china. You cant change the fact about where you are from or where you are born or who you are!

After the show and tell, we chose our group of 3 and each of us had a role. one person had to be the leader, the other had to be a reporter and the other had to be a timekeeper. I was the reporter. We made a rubrick.

After that, Mr Barton showed us some other rubricks other groups made and vote for 1 of them.
