Multi-Cultural Week

Multi-Cultural Mobiles

This past week in school my kids have been leaning about different cultures and the importance about learning this. To really study this I had the students break up into 6 groups. Each group was given a country (Ireland, Mexico, Ghana, India, South Korea, and Brazil)

Each group had to research the country and create a mobile! (see above) They had to include the country flag, map, entertainment, food, religions, etc. Then on the last day they had to present their mobile to the rest of the class. They did an awesome job! My host teacher and I were very impressed. While they presented we also found each of the countries on the classroom world map to see where they were in relation to Rivesville, WV. We decided that Mexico is the closest to us and South Korea was the furthest.When they are all done presenting we hung the mobiles on a string across the classroom:
During the week we also listened to music from around the world! They really loved the African Drums. What a fun experience!
