Topic: The Padaung Tribe of Burma

Objective: Students will learn about the unique cultures in Burma, and in further discussion will learn how beauty is different to everyone’s eyes.

Rationale: The students need to learn beauty about a different country like Burma so they can realize that beauty depends on the “Eye of the Beholder.”

Lesson Content: During the lesson, we will show the students a PowerPoint and ask them to take notes on the beauty of Burma. After that is done, we will show them a video about the Padaung Tribe of Burma. Afterwards we will have a discussion on whether or not they think that this is beautiful, why or why don't they think so, and beauty to the eye of the beholder. Next we will give them a quick write to do within 30 minutes about the discussion. We will then give them a crossword worksheet and if it's not finished it will be homework. In addition, for homework, students will write a short essay on how far they believe people can sacrifice for beauty.
