Following the introduction to the CULTURE model through the Slide Show and the introduction to the Infographic, students previously worked in teams to evaluate sources using the CULTURE model. This activity is intended to assess students' understanding of how to make connections between an author's culture and their text in order to facilitate a deeper understanding of the choices that an author makes in terms of style, language, and theme. Student observations are recorded on a graphic organizer and submitted to the teacher for evaluation.
This learning activity can be used as a stand-alone activity but is best used as an After Activity, the Before and During Activities can be found in the Tools or Recommendations section.
This activity was created as a result of the ALEX Resource Development Summit.
