Lesson 2: Cultural Regions
Students will begin by taking notes from the PowerPoint and must include the EQ's and vocabulary definitions. Next, students will popcorn read the introduction of IR-8 together and discuss how a culture has an origin (cultural hearth) and how cultures diffuse (spread). Finally, students will complete notes on the 9 cultural regions of the world. Stations will be set up around the classroom with a short reading of each cultural region take from IR 8. Students will have 5 minutes at each station to read the passage and take notes about where the cultural region is located and what makes the culture unique (notes may include: language, government, economy, religion, food, geography, and/or other items discussed in the reading)
