Culture shock
Activity type: Small-group discussion
Time: 15–20 minutes
Preparation:  Click here to download the activity sheet. Print it out. Photocopy and cut out one set of discussion questions for each student.
Procedure: Divide the class into groups of four to six students. Give one set of discussion questions to each student. Tell them to imagine that they have recently immigrated to another country. Have students discuss the questions and try to reach a common decision about which of their traditions they would keep or reject, and which traditions in their new home they would accept.
Option: Working in groups of four to six students, tell them to imagine that they work as volunteers for an agency that helps recent immigrants get settled in a new country. As volunteers, they should come up with a list of suggestions that would help newly arrived immigrants feel more comfortable.
