In-class CALL activity: Culture

The link below will take you to my group's activity created at the end of our class on culture in CALL.  The challenge in creating an activity to teach culture from a non-essentialist view is the need to create a task that has an outcome yet is still open-ended.  Food culture in the American southwest cannot be defined in a short class activity, nor should it be.  Rather, students should have an opportunity to explore a particular culture, articulate their observations, and hopefully come up with more questions of their own.
