 * =Brief Summary of Unit= ||
 * World Cultures is a class that sums itself in its words it is a class about studying the cultures of the world to not only broaden the students horizons of what is around them but to also open the doors to show what else is out there and how to study it. Students will learn about culture through history and will do this by learning new vocabulary and pushing the limits of their understanding on a global scale. Students will be tested in the areas of stereotypes and races or learn about what it means to truly learn and not just judge. Students will learn why learning about other cultures is important and learn that there is an inter-connectivity that unites all of us. Students will understand not just the culture through history of other countries but they will also learn physically about the locations of other countries and be able to effectively identify the world through geographic locations and cultural locations as well. Student will know by the end of the class important items such as terminology, critical details of other countries, and important political leaders, and people around the world. Students will take the work that we will do and be able to make connections to their own lives based on the material we learn about in other cultures. This material will be presented by the students in a creative faction that will help get them engaged and excited about world cultures, and maybe have some fun on the way. ||
