Do First
: Students will read and sing along to the All Over the World song.
Mini-lesson: Have each student use a push pin to pin on the map where theyre
family is from. Hand out one poster board to each student along with drawing
materials. Students should make a collage on the poster board, including food,
music, language, celebrations, and traditional clothing from their cultural
background.
Independent Practice: Take this time to allow students to finish their collages, have
them take their time coming up with as much as they can so they can share with the
class.When finished with their collages, pair the students up so they can compare
and contrast their collages. Pairs will then go up in front of the rest of the class to
show their collages. They will explain how theyre similar to each other and how
theyre different. Similarities like New Years Celebration and Lunar New Years,
foods like dumplings and perogies, musical instruments like a sitar and guitar.
Theyre similar but different. Do the children speak more than one language at
home? Share with the class what languages you speak.
Exit Slip: Hand out a sheet that has a Venn Diagram. What culture did your partner
have? Fill out the Venn diagram with similarities and differences. Below the diagram
write something new that you learned today. Ex, Today I learned how to say Hello
in Korean, its Annyeonghaseyo
