Unit #1 –What is a Family?
How Are Families Alike and Different?
In this lesson, students explore the ways in which families can be alike and different. Students begin by comparing similarities and differences in the families of their classmates. They then read a book to examine ways in which families may differ such as size, family members, skin color, etc. Using literature, the concept of diversity is introduced as students examine cultural differences among three families in the story. Student then consider how families are similar. The teacher guides students to an understanding that all families share cultural universals such as food, language, religion, and traditions although the type of food, language, religion or traditions may differ.
