Cultural Capital lesson plan

What's in your Brain? A study of cultural capital

Start by having student list topics they feel they have the most
knowledge about. It could be related to a place, such as a
neigborhood or region of the city.A hobby, such as hip hop music,
sport, or knitting.Or part of their identity,
such as religion or ethnic heritage.   Then have them pick one
of these topics to reflect in-depth about. What do they know
about this topic? Why do they feel they are experts at this topic?

Students would research about their chosen topic.
Where did it originate?Is there any variation or
diffusion or variations within this topic. Students would
then create an poster that would inform others about their
topics and provide historical context as to how this topic
has changed or evolved over the years. They are to use visual evidence
such as  photos or  drawings to illustrate their poster as well as
their reflective piece to explain why they chose that topic.
Another option would be to have them create a short
powerpoint or imovie.
