You can do this as a class by going around the room and sharing individually. Or you can pair up and find out which culture your partner belongs to and share with the class at the end.

7. This exercise may include asking our parents or family for help or doing some research in the library. Next we will think more about our own culture and things that make it unique and similar to other cultures. My culture is… In my culture we speak… In my culture we eat… In my culture we wear… In my culture we have traditions like… My name is… Thinking about my culture To begin, write your name at the top of an A4 piece of paper Now write down the names of clothing or jewellery you might only wear during special cultural occasions. Write down a list of food that you might only cook or eat during special cultural occasions. Next write down the name of the cultural language(s) you speak. Lastly, write down any traditions, celebrations or special cultural occasions you know of that are unique to your culture. Jeremy Māori and Samoan Te reo and Samoan language Food cooked in hangi and umu Piupiu or lavalava during a performance Preparing and cooking a hangi Preparing and cooking an umu Here is an example completed by Jeremy. Next write down the culture(s) you belong to. Once you have all your answers go through each one and share with the class. This will give an opportunity for everyone in the class to know a little more about you and your culture. Thinking about my culture

8. In this exercise we are going to work in pairs. Your partner will write about your culture and what he has learnt and you will do the same for your partners culture. Now that we have thought more about our own culture and learnt about other cultures in our classroom, lets reflect on what we have learnt. His culture is… In his culture he speaks… In his culture he eats… In his culture he wears… In his culture he has traditions like… My partners name is… Extension activity: Thinking about culture Wenkai Chinese Cantonese Dim sum and wontons A jade stone necklace Chinese new year Here is an example completed by Benjamin about his partner... Thinking about culture

9. Great job everyone. I hope you have learnt more about your own culture and cultures of your classmates. Keep your ‘thinking about my culture’ sheets in a safe place as we will use them in the next lesson which is called... ‘Home and me / me and home’. End of lesson.
