Collaborative Learning Community: Cultural Mosaic and Essay

The culture to research the Hispanic culture

In assigned CLCs, each member should choose a culture to research and inform the group members of their choice. Each individual will research information about that culture, including social perspectives that affect local and global issues.

Discuss in 750-1,000-words how you would build global awareness and understanding and integrate diverse social and cultural perspectives to create novel approaches to solving problems.

Use the GCU Library and/or academic websites to research a minimum of four articles/books about the culture.

As a group, develop a chart that breaks down components of each culture and compares them side-by-side.

Combine the information from each group member and the chart into one project. Among the group members, discuss implications for teachers and social studies instruction. Use these discussions to synthesize the individual components into one essay for the group.

Be sure to attach the cultural summaries from each group member to the assignment.
