The third attachment is a very detailed description as to what the lead wants each student to do. It is a planning document.
The assignment:
Imagine that a local company has contacted you regarding new employees from a different culture. The purpose of the presentation is to help the present employees understand and communicate with the new employees from a different culture.
Create an 8- to 10- slide Microsoft® PowerPoint®, research-based presentation to help employees understand cultural differences in the expression of emotion and the interpretation of behaviors and traditions. You will need to select one culture that is NOT represented by the learning team group. Your notes will explain the points in your slides.
Choose a culture outside of those represented in your Learning Team, and include the following:
Research findings on cultural differences in the expression of emotion, interpretation of behavior, and traditions.
