Description
The goals for this project were to understand that culture is defined in various ways and what makes culture as well as understanding that there are different cultures in the world around us. In collaboration with Mr. Garvey's physics class we learned that all parts of our personalities have opposing forces that balance our lives. With this project, we were able to learn more about the other students in our classroom and how their personalities would balance with our own.
We were placed in groups of two and we were to write a two page biography on our partner. To gather information on our person, we conducted interviews and took observations during or after school. Once all of the biographies were written we each did a short presentation on our partner's life in front of the class, therefore teaching every student about this person's interests and abilities.
