Ask the class to come up with examples that describe regions and point out different aspects of culture.  Students will then take out a piece of paper and make three vertical columns. The first column is titled Birgham, the second is Quechan Boy, and the third is Machu Picchu. The students will fill in each column with examples of culture from each region. For the Birgham section, students will fill in the column with examples about what he went through on his journey, for the Quechan boy column examples will discuss his home, and the Machu Picchu section will describe the lost city. Before beginning, the teacher will go over model with students what they are doing. For example they could write: Section One: Wild Canyons, Section Two: The boy has never seen a camera, Section Three: stone temples of worship. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">Afterwards, students can begin filling out their charts in small groups and then share their findings with the whole class while teacher fills out a chart on the Doc cam.
