Here's question 1! #participatetrchat
ChioEvans - Moderator Oct 25 @ 7:08 PM EDT

A1: be creative with this one! We have seen teachers share their culture with their neighbors. Set up a stand at your apartment office and be ready to share your culture! #participatetrchat

Think in what other places in your community you could do the same (gym, church, etc.) #participatetrchat

Incorporating this in your regular writing class is a great way to maximize your time and blend in some cultural flavor! #participatetrchat

I have done the culture corner which I keep updating. The ch are interested in the sports so I update the soccer scores from back home and have been running a British Sports Club. So far we have played rugby and are going to play cricket. #howiparticipate #participatetrchat
