It includes objectives for students to identify cultural characteristics, understand their importance, and apply their knowledge through a writing assignment. The plan outlines content on culture from a reference text and includes materials needed. Procedures involve motivating students with pictures, presenting the lesson through discussion, and having students generalize their understanding by discussing pictures in groups. Students will be evaluated by writing a composition on applying cultural knowledge and preserving culture.
