In this lesson, students will explore social relationships both in their own

culture and the target culture. To help us focus on social relationships, we will look at the 

way people interact, talk to each other, and spend time together in community celebrations 

and events. Students will see the basic linguistic differences in the two languages, but 

explore the syntax to a new level, as a definition to cultural identity in society. As the class 

continues to find distinctions between the two cultures, we will explore our cultural and 

linguistic identity and how those affect our daily lives and how they help define our 

relationships with others. The lesson would span several days, as students range from basic 

comparisons and dive into deeper contexts as we read more articles and use observational 

skills to define relationships between people.
