The last week of our “Who We Are” unit is devoted to helping
students develop an understanding of the existence of different cultures throughout
the world. We will be doing this by comparing food, families, houses, and
schools in the US to food, families, houses, and schools in other countries.
Over
four days, we will be watching trailers of the “Families of the World” series
on YouTube to make our comparisons. Each day, we will locate a new country on a
world map. Then, the students will make and draw predictions about what they
think food, families, houses, or schools will look like in that country. Following
their predictions, we will watch and discuss the “Families of the World”
trailers and see how their initial predications were similar to, or different
from, what they saw.
Day 1: Families of the Philippines - Homes
Day 2: Families of Kenya – Family
Day 3: Families of China – Food
Day 4: Families of Costa Rica – School
The students will record their predictions and what they learned in a booklet, which you can download for free from our TPT store by clicking on the sample page below!
