Warm-up

• Have students bring in magazines or books with pictures of different cultures and traditions.
• Review the concept of different cultures and traditions and ask students if they have heard of any before.

• Ask students questions about the pictures, such as:
• What are these people wearing?
• What are they doing?
• What are the surroundings like?
• What are some of the traditions or customs depicted in the pictures?

Guided Practice

• Have students work in pairs or small groups to create a collage of the different cultures and traditions they have learned about. Encourage them to use the pictures and other decorative materials to create a representation of the cultures and traditions they have learned about.
• Once the collages are finished, have students present their collages to the class and explain what they have learned about the different cultures and traditions depicted in their collages.

Independent Practice
