For this cultural workshop we were given a worksheet to fill out that has an iceberg on it. We were given various topics like modesty, classroom dynamics, food, and religion. We then had to decide if these topics would be shown above the surface of the iceberg or below the surface. For example, food is something we put above the surface because it is clear to people, even people who don't know much about a culture, what we eat. We also put most of our topics in the middle of the iceberg like modesty because you are able to visibly see if someone is being modest or not but you don't know why they are deciding to be modest or not. This is an important learning activity because it allows us to see how much "under the surface" things we don't know about cultures.
