Children around the World...

How are you the same as other children? How are  you different? You are going to look at two photo projects that look at kids around the world

Begin by getting a piece of paper and putting your name on top. On the front side title it "Groceries" and number it 1-20. You are going to look a pictures of families with a weeks worth of groceries from different countries. For each image you need to write a sentence about what you notice. You MUST write a different observation for each picture!

To see the Grocery pictures, click on this link.
***NOTE: The country where the picture is from appears ABOVE each photo 

Next, when you finish that, turn the page over. Title this side "Prized Possessions". Number your paper 1-15. You are going to look at pictures of kids and their most prized possessions. Again, for each image you need to write a sentence indicating what you notice about the picture. You MUST write a different observation for each picture!

To see the Prized Possession pictures, click on this link.
*** NOTE: The country where the picture is from appears BELOW each photo

Some things to think about in your observations:
** Notice similarities between them and you
** Notice differences between them and you
** What other inferences can you make about: how much money they have, their religion, what's important to them, how often they get new things, what their personality may be like, would you be friends?, do they do well in school?
** Can you infer anything about their personality?

YOU DO NOT NEED TO WRITE ABOUT THESE THINGS, BUT THEY ARE THINGS TO THINK ABOUT IF YOU GET STUCK.

WHEN YOU ARE DONE, HANG ON TO YOUR PAPER. YOU WILL HAND IT IN, BUT YOU WILL NEED TO DO ONE MORE THING ON THE PAPER, WHICH I WILL EXPLAIN LATER.
