This learning resource, titled 'Exploring Our Culture: The Graduation Story,' aims to help students understand the concept of culture by distinguishing between material and non-material culture. Material culture includes tangible items that can be seen or touched, such as diplomas, school rings, and clothing, while non-material culture encompasses the ideas, beliefs, and values that a community shares, such as the idea of hard work. The resource includes several engaging activities, like 'The Graduation Sort,' where students categorize cultural symbols into material and non-material items. The functionalist perspective is also introduced, explaining how symbols help maintain social order within a school, as shared goals and rules contribute to smooth operations. Students are encouraged to reflect on the importance of graduation ceremonies and even create their own new tradition, specifying both its material and non-material aspects.
