week 7 - welcoming families from around the world

The country I have picked is Malta. It is one of the smallest countries in the world. I never heard of the name of this country before.

Five ways I will prepare myself:

1)   Research from the internet about this country. I will have to study the culture, racial, geographical environment, social, economical environment about this place. Dig out information as much as I can.

2)   Prepare a ppt presentation about this country and people with a lot of pictures so that I can present to the children in the class. I have to prepare our other students to welcome this new student.

3)   Print a flag of this country to be included in our class nationality portfolios.

4)   Print some scenic places and people of the country and make it a poster to tip on the display wall in the classroom

5)   Try to buy some representative toys from the country online.

Understanding the culture  and background of Melta is very important so that I know how to communicate with the new student.  By preparing myself and the other students in the class will help the new student to feel being welcomed and will make his/her adjustment easier.
