- discussing how own cultural identities are reflected in home, school and social lives, including attitudes and behaviours, and considering how these might be interpreted and responded to by members of different communities
- identifying changes in own ways of thinking about culture and identity as a result of learning French
- discussing attitudes towards diversity and difference, including the use of stereotypes and generalisations, and considering how these affect communication
