Be a globally
competent
communicator.
How do people in the world communicate and value things differently?Â
Should we learn a list of 'facts' about people of other countries, or develop a toolbox that lets us understand human behaviour in an ever-changing world?
Assessment Task 1: 'Culturally adaptable communicators'
Who and what shaped your identity, values and behaviours?
Are you a 'typical' Australian? Is anyone? What makes a stereotype?
We consider these questions, looking at parents, the community and the school.
Assessment Task 2: 'Norms, subcultures and identity'
What do cultural events tell us about the ways people think and behave?
A fun, creative end to the first unit.
