The aim of this project is to develop students' understanding of their own cultural identity through the study of national celebrations and commemorations. And whilst some celebrations and commemorations are recognised internationally, there are still variations in the way each country celebrates them. So celebrations and commemorations may be local, national or international. The quality or condition of being a specified person, place or thing. The identity of a person, place or thing is determined by its characteristics, features or circumstances.
Cultural identity is made up of many things.
The Internet as a teaching and learning medium offers a range of possibilities for students. It allows them to interact with other schools, research and share information and publish their work on the World Wide Web. Some of the activities in this project require use of the Internet. Teachers may need to allocate special Internet time for particular activities. Completed material should be posted on your school's web site.
