Books on greetings. The student graphs, plotting, and generalizations could be used for assessment. Discuss ways people greet each other. Chart the information. Distribute cards to the students.
Students find their partners by reading and following the directions on the card.
Once students have found their partners, have them group themselves into various categories. If they are having a difficult time, give them some hints, like different gestures or saying the greetings. Have students share their greetings with the rest of the class. As each set of partners share their greetings, they should place a sticker on the map to acquaint themselves with the countries. Students will find some means of gathering information of greetings.
