Engage in an interactive anthropology project that invites you and your group to create and analyze a new culture. Start by developing your culture's unique customs, norms, holidays, and values using a guided sheet. Then, select 15 representative items and provide explanations of their cultural significance with visuals. Exchange sheets with another group to analyze their culture based solely on their chosen items, followed by a discussion to uncover true cultural insights. Finally, reflect on your assumptions and learn from the other group’s real culture. This immersive experience enhances understanding of cultural diversity.

Anthropology DIG experiment You be the anthropologist!
Step 1: Create your culture. • You and your group will be given a guide sheet to fill in about your culture. • Make sure to be very complete in your explanations about the culture you are describing. • Try to be somewhat creative in developing their customs/norms/holidays/values etc.
Step 2: Choose your items • In your group, choose 15 items that would represent your culture. Explain how these items are related to the culture. • Gather pictures, from magazines, computers, or hand drawn and put them onto your culture sheet.
Step 3: Exchange pictures with another group • Fill out the analysis sheet about the other groups culture ONLY based on the items they have gathered on their sheet. • Explain WHY you have analyzed their culture in this manner.
Step 4: Meet with the group you exchanged with. • Explain to them what you “discovered” about their culture. • Then let them explain to you what their culture was actually like. • Each group must fill out a results sheet telling me about how their analysis of the other group turned out. Were you right? What threw you off? Why?
