• 1. Written and Oral traditions: People can share their culture
through literature, which includes the stories and poems that people
use to share their ideas. These ideas can also be shared through a
myth which is a story made up to explain the world around us. And
at last we can see the fable which is a story in which animals speak
and act like humans.
• In a oral way we have folktales and legends. Folktales are stories
passed from one generation to the next and legends are a made up
story about a real person or event.
 Different ways to express Culture
2. The Arts:
• There are different kind of arts, there are some artists that Paint,
draw or sculpt artworks, meanwhile there are some artists that play
an instrument, sing or create lyrics by music.
• Dance is another way to express it, using our bodies.
• And Architecture which is the art of designing buildings.
 Different ways to express culture
• 3. Religion: The last way to express our culture is
through religion. There are different religions in the
world, and they normally worship a specific god. We
don’t see Christianity as a religion but as a way of life
believing in what Jesus christ did on the cross.

other symbols as facts
