This class is for 7th Graders at PMMS. It is an introduction to cultures around the United States and the world. The goal of the class is to help students recognize that different cultures exist and to recognize similarities and differences across cultures and peoples.
The course is a mixture of geography, language, art, music, economics, literature, politics, and many more things. The course is to show students what is out in the world that they could see, whether online, abroad, or at home here in Buena Vista.
If you have any questions, concerns, or ideas for your child, email me at [email protected]. I teach Spanish at the High School, so if you want to schedule a time to meet with me, please remember that I will be at the High School for meetings and such.
Supplies: Students need to have a folder with pockets in it and a few sheets of paper. Most of the class with be discussion and handouts.
