This Moodle explores the topic of Cultural Diffusion for 6th-8th grade history students. The different process of cultural diffusion will be taught as well as the barriers to cultural diffusion. Students will then learn about cultural diffusion from a spatial perspective and later weigh in on the pros and cons of cultural diffusion and Westernization. The objectives of the Cultural Diffusion Moodle are as follows:
· Students will be able to define cultural diffusion
· Given the chance to use the internet, students will research and synthesize information from various sources into a multimedia presentation about cultural diffusion
· Students will be able to understand the different types of cultural diffusion as demonstrated by their ability to correctly identify examples of each type
· Students will be able to explain the different barriers to cultural exchange
· Students will be able to work collaboratively on a presentation that summarizes what they know about the cultural diffusion of a specific cultural trait
