I don't know if I took the learning and thinking out of my student's hands, but I ended up making a chart--with a lot of student input that compared country cultures, beginnings, development, and values and trying to help them connect some of the dots between those things and sports, yodeling, and urban games.
For example, the US, as a settler nation imported yodeling from Europe and Africa and those immigrants kept yodeling alive as a tie to their home culture. At the same time, yodeling became part of the American culture through country music and cowboy music. It was used in a uniquely American way.
Do you think I did too much of the thinking for them?
