Skills to develop
Project Activities
Who Am I? Personal Profile Creation
Students create a 1-2 minute video or digital card introducing themselves, describing three personality traits with examples, showing something that represents their passion, and asking a question for their international partner. This asynchronous introduction is exchanged with the partner class.
Discovering Similarities and Differences Across Cultures
Students watch or read their partner's introduction, then participate in a live video call or asynchronous video exchanges to discuss teen style, stereotypes, personality values, and typical teenage life in their countries. They compare habits, lifestyles, and perspectives while practicing agreement and disagreement language.
Portrait of Generation Z: Reflection and Collaboration
Students contribute to a shared digital board or collaborative presentation featuring their key insights, surprising discoveries about their partner's culture, and reflections on shared traits across different countries. Each student shares a brief 1-minute oral or written reflection on what surprised them and what they have in common.
