Once this project is completed, students will be asked to reflect back on their culture and compare contrast with groups that we study throughout the year.

 * Reflections:** || Having gotten to the point where they have completed the project, I feel like students were very involved and thoughtful in the creation of their societies. I feel like they are vested in this project and will be eager to revisit their cultures as we continue our studies of other cultures. ||
