Brazilian Culture InfoGraphics

INFOGRAPHIE 2016 - LES FRANCAIS EN VOYAGE Globe Trotting via Compfight

This week we are learning about the culture of Brazil and how it differs from the culture of America.  Our assignment for this week is to create an infographic about Brazil and its culture.  After our virtual trip using Google Expeditions the other week to the Amazon rainforest, we decided that we should learn more about the culture of Brazil.  We learned that Brazil is the largest country in South America.  We also learned that the Amazon river is the longest river in the world.

We used the website CultureGrams to learn more about the people and culture of Brazil.  If you have never been to CultureGrams we highly recommend that you check it out.  We listened to interviews of a 6-year-old girl and a 32-year-old male from Brazil.  They talked about their life in Brazil and how the culture of Brazil plays a huge role in their everyday lives.

We also read some interesting information about gestures and how certain gestures in America mean completely different things in Brazil. Finally, we read about the language, religion and general attitudes of the people of Brazil.

What is an infographic?  An infographic is  ” a visual presentation of information in the form of a chart, graph, or other image accompanied by minimal text, intended to give an easily understood overview, often of a complex subject:Dictionary.com

Please make sure you visit our infographics we are creating about Brazil.  Leave us a comment and let us know what you think.

As always Happy Blogging.
