Introducing the lesson: Present relevant background information, the purpose of the lesson, and the learning objectives.
Teacher/Learner Activity 1 (Brainstorm):
• Ask students what words come to mind when they see or hear the words ‘identity’ and ‘culture.’
• Capture the words on chart paper or on the board. • See Resource J2 for an example letter to approach another school.
Teacher/Learner Activity 2 – ‘Me and My Culture’ Mind Map:
• Divide students into pairs. • Hand out Resource J1 and ask students to recreate it on a large sheet of paper, leaving enough space in each box to make notes.
• Ask them to choose one box from the ‘Me and My Culture’ Mind Map and, on a separate piece of paper, expand it into a collage, photomontage, poster, song lyric, poem, portrait, etc., for the Peace POD.
• Ask pairs to write down a pledge to bring in two low-cost items they would like to put in the Peace POD (e.g., a CD, a photo, a recipe, or an article from a magazine or newspaper).
• Ask pairs to write down which country they would like to make a link with and why.
Reflection/Ideas to Discuss: chapter 5
Using a SMART board or overhead transparency of Resource J1, gather information from students.
• What definitions of ‘culture’ and ‘identity’ surfaced? Can the class agree on one definition for each term?
• Can the whole class agree on a definition of ‘ethnicity’? • What is meant by the term ‘ethnic diversity’? • Have students consider and discuss the ethnic diversity of their class, school, community, state, and the United States as a whole.
• In what ways do we benefit from that diversity? • What might be the benefit of creating a link with another culture? • Why is appreciating and respecting diversity important in establishing a more peaceful world?
• Would you consider yourselves ‘global citizens’? In what ways? Follow-up and Completion of this Lesson
