Your final presentations (updated)

With your partner, I'd like you to choose 2 or 3 (maximum) of the following topics and compare and contrast them between your cultures. Your presentation should last between 10-12 minutes and you should try to divide the time equally between you.

1. Attitudes toward time
2. Attitudes toward privacy
3. Gender roles/expectations
4. Educational expectations
5. Friendship
6. Love/romance
7. Touch/space/gestures

You do not need to do a powerpoint unless you want to.

Here is the grading rubric so you know what to expect:
