OUTSOURCED Intercultural Studies Curriculum Teacher's Guide

Based on the hit movie that inspired the television series, the Outsourced Intercultural Studies Curriculum Teacher's Guide is designed for use with the Outsourced Educational Edition DVD and the Outsourced Intercultural Studies Curriculum Student Handouts. In an increasingly interdependent world, the ability to communicate, empathize and interact across geographical and cultural boundaries is essential for effective living. The Outsourced Intercultural Studies Curriculum is designed to give students an enhanced perspective of countries and cultures different than their own. Through examination of topics illustrated by the film, students develop a broader awareness of the elements binding them to, and separating them from, other peoples and other places - helping them understand the shifting boundaries of culture, nation, race, ethnicity, and institutional structures that shape contemporary social life.
