Describe examples of what causes cultural differences 3. List steps in a good interview 4. In this activity I ask students to seek out someone to interview about their experiences in a foreign country. In class, I encourage students to brain-storm and add other questions. Also, the people they interview usually talk a great deal about many topics.
People usually enjoy discussing their experiences overseas.
This activity gives students opportunities to improve research skills, increase knowledge about other nations, and to more fully understand the U.S. role in the world. I most enjoyed students having an opportunity to speak to the class. Students brought in clothing and crafts of the nation. Some young people even cooked food from the area. Students show so much enthusiasm about learning from each other, their experiences are so positive with this activity, they seem more open to learn about international issues in the future.
