Description
There are many ways to introduce young students to culture. Some are obvious; some are not. Looking at human features within a culture gives students an opportunity to see the factors that shaped this culture. Walls that stand for years can be a reflection of cultures--their histories, values, and meaning to a group of people.In this lesson, students will identify events that shape a culture and identify human features in their own community.This lesson contains adaptations for diverse learners.Duration
