This document provides instructions for a laboratory assignment asking students to work with a partner to research love traditions from around the world. Students are asked to choose five traditions they find strange or different, create a PowerPoint slide for each tradition with their own description and illustration, and send the presentation to the instructor by the end of the period. The document encourages students to celebrate love in their own lives.
