Assignment:
For this activity, you will get the chance to explore and compare how families function in various cultures around the world.
Activity Instructions:
1. First, you will pick three different cultures to research.
2. Next, you will research what family means in each culture and the various roles, responsibilities, and functions of the family unit in that culture.
3. After you have gathered all of your information, you will create an oversized Venn diagram using words, facts, and images. (You can find an example template below, it is not exactly the same as a traditional Venn diagram so please be sure to review the example before starting. Also, your Venn diagram should be much larger than a regular sized piece of paper.)
4. Ideally, you will use a poster board or large sheet of butcher paper to create your diagram, then photograph it, and upload the photos to the dropbox. If you absolutely cannot create your Venn diagram by hand and photograph it, then you may use a slideshow type program to create your Venn diagram digitally, but this should be a last resort.
5. In the three individual sections of the Venn diagram, you will create a mural of information on each of the three cultures you researched. Each individual cultural section must include:
- Five facts regarding the function of family in the culture
- Three images, drawings, or graphics that relate to the culture and its idea of family
- Three keywords relate to the specific culture/family
You can certainly include more information than the above requirements, but the above is the bare minimum.
In the center section of your Venn diagram, you should include any words, facts, phrases, or images that these three cultures have in common when it comes to family and its function.
Finally, after you finish your diagram, you will type up a response to the following question and submit it with your diagram: (Two to three paragraphs will be plenty)
- Consider all of the cultures that you researched and analyze the influence of cultural background on patterns of communication (within each culture or overall).
