Cultural Diversity Inquiry Unit: What do Things I Wear Say About Me? From the unit plan:
"This third-grade inquiry expands students’ understandings of how groups represent themselves through what they wear. The compelling question—“What do things I wear say about me?”—engages students in an examination of material culture by considering the factors impacting their own choices of what they wear such as geography, culture, and religion. Students will examine the similarities and differences they share with their classmates, as well as diverse cultures in their communities and around the globe."
This inquiry is designed to for three, 45 minute lessons, but can and should be adapted to best meet your students.
HTK note: this lesson is designed for 3rd grade, but may be a better fit for 2nd. We've included standards for both grades.
