Introduction
Multicultural Presentation - "Cultural Diversity Show&Tell"
Let's explore and learn about different countries and cultures together. The world is a diverse and beautiful place full of colors, tastes, and sounds. The best way to understand a country's culture is to see it for yourself, so for this presentation, you will pick a country, do some research about it, and share what you learned with our class.
Task
Use the resources below to choose and learn about a country. After your research, select two interesting facts about this country's culture and make a video talking about them.
For the Show&Tell, you must bring a picture or a drawing of something that you believe represents this country's culture. You can pick one of the facts you talk about in the video or a different one.
