  • We are going to work in four groups to represent the Egyptian culture.

• Teacher will ask students; how to know if the source is reliable or not?

• Now each group will take a part and do some research about it:
  • Group 1: Clothing
  • Group 2: Food and hospitality

• Rules:
  • You should symbolize the culture by brining information, realia, pictures and activities to activate your section.

• Decorate your section depending on your topic.

• Each group will take 20 minutes to teach the class about is part of the culture.
• I will provide you with card to write the notes while you are listening to other groups.

• You should make sure that every student understands well your part (eg; using short tasks).

• I will give you a sheet with key words, which may help you to get the information.

• The presentation will be on this Wednesday.

• There will be an presentation rubric, which I will use for assessing (Visuals, content, diction, demeanor, impromptu).

• After the presentation I will ask each student to write an essay about "compare and contrast between the Egyptian cultural and UAE culture" in terms of food,clothing, languages....etc.

• On Thursday you are responsible to check your partner essay and use "Two Stars and a Wish" strategy (feedback). YouI will assess based on a checklist that is provided by me.
