Culture Survey and Creative Writing Lesson Social Studies - History, World History, Geography


Manu Martian has crash landed on earth and is utterly confused about our way of life. Poor Manu Martian does not understand anything happening around him! Students help Manu adjust to his new home by completing a personal culture survey. Then they view the world from a Martian's point of view and write original and unique clues about cultural features here on Earth. Other students then have the opportunity to guess what part of our culture is described. A fun lesson for all levels!

Includes everything you need for the lesson: Culture Survey Handout, Culture Survey PowerPoint, Martian culture descriptions handout, Quick Teacher Reference Guide

Hope you and your students enjoy! Please check my TpT store for more great lessons and please rate me if you like my work. I will be adding new lessons all the time. Thanks!

This activity is also available as part of an entire week long unit on Culture aligned to a 5E lesson plan model if it better suits your classroom needs. Buying all the lessons together saves you $2. Just look for "Culture Unit" in my teacher store. Thanks!
