Cultural Expressions
Integrated with the Cultural Expressions Research Model
You will be visiting an elementary school to help celebrate their Multicultural Day. You will share a children's story you have written and produced in a video format, portraying the values of a chosen culture. Before you begin writing and videotaping your actual story, you will need to research the culture upon which your story will be based and present that information to your classmates.
