Learning Outcomes
Students will be able to identify and describe a story, word, or custom from the Indigenous Peoples of their country and explain why it matters to their family, community, or culture.
Students will be able to demonstrate that story, word, or custom through a creative resource and share it with international peers in a clear and respectful way.
Students will be able to compare the traditions and perspectives shared by their international partners, evaluating how learning about different Indigenous Peoples changes or grows their own understanding of cultural diversity and identity.
Skills to develop
Project Activities
Talk
Students talk about what they know regarding the Indigenous Peoples of their country or region: a word, a story, a dance, a craft technique, the origin of a place name. The teacher guides the reflection on why it is worth knowing and sharing these traditions, which are still alive today, being careful not to reduce them to stereotypes.
Create
Students choose a story, word, or custom and briefly research it using reliable sources (family, community, school library, internet with teacher guidance). They create a resource that shares it: a drawing, a paper infographic, a concept map, or a simple model. They upload it to the Board.
Share and Explore
Students explore the Board to discover what other countries' classrooms shared, comparing similarities and differences among the Indigenous Peoples of different regions of the world.
