Glimpse of Cambodian Culture through a Photo (Snapshot)

RI.5.7, W.5.3

No specific prior learned background information is needed, but rather former knowledge of one's own and other cultures, based on previously viewed photos. Culture can be defined as shared behaviors, values, customs and beliefs in a society. Culture will shape how a group interacts with the world around them. However, the teacher should have a clear understanding of the Cambodian cultures presented through the previewed photographs to clarify and help guide students through analysis of the photographs.
