Lesson plan: Here we are

From the Your World, My World online resource

Age group: 4 - 7

Aims:
To introduce the pupils in the class to the children in the pack.
To develop children's interest in others, through discussion.

What to do:
You will need photos 1, 12, 13, 23 from the photo gallery.

Preparation: you will need to familiarise yourself with Muluken, Cidinha, Sasha and Shakeel. The children's stories and snapshots will be useful for this.

Explain to the children that they are going to be learning about four children who live in different parts of the world. Now show them each photo and introduce each of the children in turn, saying a little about each one, using the information that you have read. After you have introduced each child, ask the class if they would like to ask the children any questions. Write all these down and explain to the children that they are going to find out the answers to most of their questions themselves as they learn more about Muluken, Cidinha, Sasha and Shakeel.

Now put a world map up on the wall. Point out the UK and then each country where the four children live. Now refer back to your previous discussion, and talk about how each of the countries may be different. Think about geographical features, and what it might be like to live there. The questions around the photographs are intended to prompt class discussion and encourage children to make connections with others around the world.
