Lesson 4: Cultural Diffusion
Students will copy EQ's and vocabulary definitions from PowerPoint. Next, Students will read IR-11 and write responses in journal from reading about cultural diffusion. We will have a class discussion that follows. Students will examine a specific individual cultural trait, then apply it to a group cultural trait, then class, then country (IR-10).
