Humanities with Ms. Lloyd ? Happy (almost) October Break

Hey all you grade 6 KIDDOS?

Our first break is already here! It seems almost impossible that in six and a half weeks we have come so far and know each other so well. I hope all of you take this time to relax with your families and enjoy the sights and sounds of this great city we call home. For those of you traveling to far off lands, please come back with many stories of your wild adventures!

Over the break we would like you to begin thinking about your family?s culture. And what better way to capture the culture of your family then by taking some snapshots and digging out old pictures. We would like to see pictures of?

  • Traditional clothing (A picture of you, new or old, dressed in clothing that represents your culture)
  • Family values (What is most important to your family)
  • Food (Maybe a dish or style of cooking that is specific to your family)
  • Family traditions (What do you always do together?)
  • Fine arts (Dance, music, entertainment, artwork)

The pictures can be in electronic form, printed or scanned. Try to find anywhere from 1-5 pictures for each category.

When we return from break, you will be putting together a keynote using the pictures you found over the break. This will kick off our study of culture and provide the foundation as we extend our learning to other civilizations and cultures.

Take at look at some of my personal examples as you complete this task?

(more to come)
