Cultural references of the XXth century.
a. Find in different EFL textbooks currently being used in our schools (either in EP or ES) examples of cultural references corresponding to topics developed in our syllabus. They could be:
1. Icons or cultural images.
2. Characters or important personalities.
3. Topics or relevant events.
b. In each case mention the textbook and publishing year, teaching point, age group, what icon, character or event is the example referring to(with a short explanation of it; not longer than 400 words. Please avoid the internet copy and paste!!!).
c. Reflect upon the references, taking into account the relevance of the examples for the students , its effectiveness as regards the points taught and suggest changes if you consider so.
d. You are expected to include the photocopy of the lesson where the cultural reference is found, the sources and the bibliography used in each case.
e. The whole work (not including the photocopies of the text analysed) should not be longer than 4 pages. Prioritize your own reflection on c.
f. Date to hand in: second week in August (hand in during examination boards)
g. Please if you have doubts, post them here in the "comentarios" section so everybody can profit from our reflections.

Hello Patricia I have a doubt, when you refer to "teaching point" you refer to grammatical point of view, I mean if the cultural reference includes colour, numbers, wh questions,etc? Thanks Barbara
HI BArbara.
yes teaching point means what the lesson will teach from a grammatical or functional point (for eg: greetings, presentations,etc)
