Last week we started Unit 2. During the provocation students looked at 6 different ways people express their culture. They were asked to connect to the expression of culture by describing what they already knew. Then they were asked to extend their knowledge by describing what they learned and finally they were asked to challenge their ideas and asked questions about what they would like to know.
