1st 9 WeeksThis grading period students will be exploring the difficulty in defining "culture." It influences everything from who you are as an individual to how you relate to other people at home and around the world. Just what is culture, and how does it contribute to the way you see the world? In this unit, you will explore these questions by investigating factors that affect your personal and cultural identities.
You will also explore the effect your family has had on your life and your perceptions of the world. IN addition to thinking about the influence of family, you will consider other potent factors that shape your identity, including ethnicity, race, and gender. As you complete this unit, you will make connections to the works of multiple writers and use those works to create your own understanding of cultural identity and its effect on individual perceptions.
