Bienvenue

    This website is a starting point for your Cultural Connections Project. While studying Educational Technology in Rouen, France I had the opportunity to be completely immersed in a foreign culture. This made me wonder, how is the teen culture in Ypsilanti different from the teen culture in Rouen? My findings of teen culture in Rouen are presented in this site.

    Your project will begin by asking yourself, how is my culture different from _________ culture? Next, narrow down your question and focus on one question about the culture you choose. This is your opportunity to learn about another culture and become a world learner.
