Group DOUBLE-DECKER

• You are on bus N13 going from Finchley Road to
  Piccadilly Circus. Hold on tight and enjoy your
  ride ?

10
Group HOSTEL

• You are getting off bus N13 at Finchley Road and
  you are going to stay at Palmers Lodge hostel.
  Make sure you have your toothbrushes with you and
  a padlock for safety reasons. Leave all your
  valuables with the friendly receptionist she
  loves jewellery ?

11
Both groups

• You are faced with some real-life situations.
  Read the description of the 4 behaviours below
  and write down your response or interpretation as
  a group. You should reach an agreement within
  your group. There is an example.
• There is a list of useful phrases you can use.

12
Both groups

• Imagine how some of the same behaviours would be
  perceived or interpreted by someone from a
  culture different from what you have presumed the
  group to be sharing in the first task. A
  different cultural trait is described in each
  case. Read each behaviour again and the
  description of the culture, and then write in the
  space provided how you think a person from such a
  culture would interpret that behaviour.

13
Role play

• Each group will be given a situation from the
  ones already discussed. Each participant will be
  assigned a different role. You have to act out
  the situation sticking to the behaviour you are
  supposed to have as the person you have picked up
  to be.
• Unleash your imagination and try to get into the
  shoes of your character. Dont spare yourselves
  !!! ?

14
Instead of a conclusion ?

• "How far you go in life depends on your being
  tender with the young, compassionate with the
  aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant
  of the weak and strong. Because someday in your
  life you will have been all of these...
• George Washington Carver, American inventor
