First, you will pick three different cultures to research.
Next, you will research what family means in each culture and the various roles, responsibilities, and functions of the family unit in that culture.
After you have gathered all of your information, you will create an oversized Venn diagram using words, facts, and images. (You can find an example template below, it is not exactly the same as a traditional Venn diagram so please be sure to review the example before starting. Also, your Venn diagram should be much larger than a regular sized piece of paper.)
Ideally, you will use a poster board or large sheet of butcher paper to create your diagram, then photograph it, and upload the photos to the dropbox. If you absolutely cannot create your Venn diagram by hand and photograph it, then you may use a slideshow type program to create your Venn diagram digitally, but this should be a last resort.
In the three individual sections of the Venn diagram, you will create a mural of information on each of the three cultures you researched. Each individual cultural section must include:
- The name of the culture
- A brief description of the culture
- The definition and significance of family in the culture
- Roles, responsibilities, and functions of the family unit in the culture
- Images or symbols that represent the culture and its family values
In the overlapping sections of the Venn diagram, you will highlight the similarities and differences between the cultures' perspectives on family. This can include:
- Similarities and differences in the definition and significance of family
- Similarities and differences in roles, responsibilities, and functions of the family unit
- Similarities and differences in cultural symbols or values related to family
Make sure to organize your information clearly and use visuals to enhance understanding.
