Melville Intermediate - Cultural Diversity

This term our subject is cultural diversity.  We're looking at cultures around the world that we have a connection with to Room Five at Melville Intermediate School.  Each of our students are preparing interview questions for people from a different culture.  One of the students from our class who is doing this is Jamie, who is looking at Scottish/Celtic culture.

As our students are working on this procedure we've spent the last two weeks creating a set of interview questions. and then begun a process of conferencing, refining and thinking about our questions.  Our next task is to use a program to create audio files of our questions, and start conducting interview in person, using audio files and using Skype.

This is Jamie's introduction and a set of quesitons that she is looking to have answered.

Hi my name is Jamie. I go to Melville Intermediate. I am studying Celtic Culture. I have some questions that I would like someone who is Celtic to answer:

• What are the main celebrations in your country?
• What is the story behind your flag?
• Where did the Bagpipes come from?
• Do you eat animals?
• Do you speak English or Gaelic?
• What is your national animal?
• What are your two most famous foods?
• Do you have any traditional dances?
• Do you have a national plant?

 You can see examples of some of Jamie's work here.
