to fi nd at least one more antonym for each 
word.

WRITING ASSIGNMENT 
(pages 147–149)
• Read the introduction containing the 
assignment. Have students locate their notes 
from the Try It Out! activities on pages 143 
and 146. Elicit examples of aspects of 
culture that students could write about (e.g. 
clothing, food, holidays, body language, 
child-rearing customs, celebrations, role of 
women, business practices). 
• Step 1: Read the instructions aloud and 
go over the Venn diagram with the class. 
For extra practice, have students work in 
small groups to construct a Venn diagram 
on a familiar topic (e.g., a comparison of 
two classrooms or of two cars). Then have 
each student create a Venn diagram for his 
or her essay topic. Decide if you will check 
students’ diagrams before they continue to 
the next step. 
• Step 2: Read the instructions. Have 
students do this step in class or at home. 
Decide if you will check students’ charts 
(and outlines if they made one) before they 
go on to the next step. 
• Step 3: Read the instructions aloud. You 
may have students begin their drafts in 
class and complete them at home. Allow 
suffi cient time for students to complete 
their drafts.
