be open minded

understand different working styles and cultures

think about others

Activity

Tell the students they are going to be planning a perfect class vacation.

The only rule for the vacation is that it has to in some way or another be connected to content they have been studying.

Give them about 10 minutes to plan this.

Now divide the class intro groups of 5 or 6.

Get the groups to exchange their ideas and then decide which amongst all of their plans is the best. They also have to explain how the content learnt fits in with the plan.

Once all groups have selected one, get each group to present their selected vacation and how it connects to the content.

Now as a class, they have to vote for their perfect vacation

Rationale
