Topic # 1: Greetings and introductions

Video # 1: Greetings and introductions in Spanish speaking countries |
Task # 1: The objective of this task is to find out and appreciate how some different cultures around the world greet each other.
Activity # 1: Please get into groups of 3 or 4 and brainstorm different ways that you know on how people from different countries greet each other. Please be specific on the differences. Once we finish brainstorming in our groups, we will share our thoughts with the whole class. Please choose a spoke person from the group to share your ideas.
Activity # 3: Please get into a group of 4, a group of 5, and another group of 5. These groups are called the home group. Each member of the group of 4 will have a different number between 1 - 4. However, the groups that have 5 students will have 3 students with numbers between one and three and 2 students the number 4. Once you know your number, I need for all # 1s to get into one group, all # 2s into another group, all 3s into another group, and all 4s into another group. The groups that have the same number all called the expert groups.
Each expert group is going to be assigned one of the videos above. You need to watch the video as a group and observe how people greet each other. After watching the video a couple of times, discuss with your expert group what you observed and write these observations. Once everyone in the group understands what the video is about, the group needs to come up with a presentation (Power Point ) that clearly explains the most important points in the video that your group saw.
Once you finish your presentation and feel confident enough on presenting it, each member of the expert group will go back to their home group and explain the information they saw in the video using the power point.
Activity # 4: Once every member of each home group is done presenting their part, each home group will be assigned (at random) one of the videos to present to the whole class. The students will need to illustrate what happens in the video through a skit.
