celebrate?'.

map to show different aspects of a culture. (Colour to depict
aspects peculiar to specific cultures within the group.)

in a Social Studies Inquiry.

culture from their Culturegram and prepare a
jigsaw that summarises this key
information.

food, family groups, celebrations...) to analyse.
