Let's explore the world: different countries

Choose one country to write about in your blog and present it to the rest of the class using a powerpoint. You can look for information on the internet and include the following information:

• Geography: What is the capital? What are some major cities? How big is your country ? You may want to include a map - find one online.
• Climate: What climates does the area have? Is the weather hot and mild (like Hawai), is there an extreme climate or something else?
• Population: Give the latest population. What do the people of the country do for a living (what are the major industries and agricultural products)?
• Languages.
• Symbols: Describe the symbols selected to represent it. Write about the flag -- include what it looks like, when it was adopted.  Are there any other symbols?
• Customs & traditions. Music, traditional clothes, holidays, lifestyle...
• Something Special: What is special about your country? What does it have that other countries do not have? For example, list National Parks, National Monuments, historic battlefields, important places, or historic events that happened in the country you chose.

Let's reflect on gender equality

THE ENGINEER DESIGNED TWO NEW HYDRAULIC MACHINES.

WHEN I WAS IN HOSPITAL, THE NURSE HELPED ME HAVE SHOWERS.

Replace The engineer and The Nurse with a personal pronoun.

Did you have any prejudices about gender? Is it normal? Why?

AFTER WATCHING, answer the following questions in pairs:

1. IS THIS REALLY LIKE THE VIDEOS SHOW?

WHY/WHY NOT?

2. HAVE YOU HAD EXPERIENCES RELATED TO GENDER INEQUALITY OR HAVE YOU 
WITNESSED IT?

3. CAN YOU THINK ABOUT ANY OTHER EXAMPLES OF GENDER INEQUALITY 
THAT DIDN’ T APPEAR IN THE VIDEOS?

4. WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ABOUT THIS TOPIC?

5. DO YOU THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO MAKE PEOPLE AWARE AND CHANGE PREJUDICES 
AGAINST GENDER EQUALITY?
