4 Project 1 Food ad Taste as a Global Exploratio Backgroud Why do we eat? To stay alive, most certaily, but we also eat for ejoymet ad as a form of social cotact ad celebratio.

Studets will uderstad that while there is substatial diversity i the form that food may take aroud the world, there are parallels i its fuctio that serve to uite childre worldwide.

5 Focal Activity Itroductio May similar types of foods are shared by people across coutries, for example, pickles! What are pickles? I America ad Europea coutries, they are made of certai kids of cucumbers. Why did people start makig pickles? To preserve foods they grew durig the summer because there were o refrigerators. Today some people still must preserve food i this way i order to have food i cold moths whe gardes do t grow. Picklig is oe of may ways to preserve food, ad other foods besides cucumbers ca be pickled. Guidig Questios Ask the class to thik about differet pickled foods they kow of which could iclude the followig: Sauerkraut from Germay Kimchi from Korea Hot peppers from Mexico Carrots ad oios from Frace Olives from Italy Hotdog relish from America Classroom Activity Share assorted pickled foods with childre i the class ad let them decide which they like best. The ask them these questios: What kids of pickles or pickled foods do they eat at home? Does ayoe at their home make homemade pickles? Which ethic pickled foods are their favorites? Pickles are ow cosidered to be a very healthy food that aids i digestio ad it is recommeded we all eat somethig pickled every day. [Food allergy alert: some ethic pickled foods, like Idia relish, cotai groud peauts, so be sure to check igrediets before sharig i your classrooms.] See the followig liks for additioal iformatio about pickles: Wikipedia article about picklig: A etire webpage devoted to the pickle: 20 Pickle recipes: summer_fresh_pickle_recipes_php Pickle Makig Recipe YouTube video:

7 Project 2 Music ad Dace as a Global Exploratio Backgroud Almost everyoe i the world ejoys music. There are may kids, from old folk music that is differet i each coutry to moder music which is ow shared aroud the world o a daily basis through various forms of techology. We kow people have created ad played music for more tha 40,000 years because a flute made from a cave bear boe was discovered from that aciet time. May musical istrumets ad kids of music have bee created sice the. For example, various types of guitars ad accordios are shared i may cultures aroud the world. Equally popular aroud the world are percussio istrumets to create beat ad rhythm ad iclude the followig types: sticks, rattles, bells, triagles, tambouries, drums. Objectives Studets will develop a uderstadig of the varied purposes for makig music, as well as a awareess of the messages that music ca covey.

Studets will uderstad that while there is substatial diversity i the forms that music ad dace may take aroud the world, there are parallels i their fuctios that serve to uite childre worldwide.

8 Focal Activity Itroductio We ca play istrumets by ourselves or we ca play i a group, which takes more cooperatio ad practice. These are importat distictios. What are some reasos people play music? For etertaimet To be happy To have somethig to dace to To be comforted if they are sad To celebrate somethig like a weddig To be creative ad ivet somethig ew Guidig Questios Why do you play music? Do you play music o a istrumet? What kid? O a radio? O a ipod? What is your favorite kid of music? What kid of music do your parets like? What about your gradparets?

See the followig liks for directios o how to make each istrumet: Drum - Tambourie - Maracas - Rai Stick - Guitar or Lute - Hor - Chimes - Extesio Activity A music project offers may opportuities for broader iter-departmetal study ad classroom demostratios.

You might also ivite a collector to model differet ethic percussio istrumets that childre could hadle.

9 Comprehesive Commuity Project Because music is so closely liked to dace, a demostratio of several folk daces, particularly oe from a local ethic group, would be very iterestig. For example, the compariso betwee Mexica ad Germa folk daces would egage childre, as would listeig to the similarities ad differeces i the two music styles (Aother optio here would be a compariso of the rai daces performed by Native Americas ad peoples of South Africa). Studets could practice dacig some simple steps themselves ad perhaps icorporate the istrumets they created durig the classroom activity. This demostratio might be a excellet way to egage paret ad commuity participatio i the classroom. I additio, folk costumes wor by musicias ad dacers would add aother ejoyable dimesio for childre to explore. Character Buildig Coectios Shared values for teachers to cosider durig this exercise iclude respect, friedship, mutual uderstadig, culture, coectedess, cooperatio, appreciatio, traditios, sharig, ejoymet, practice, exploratio, imagiatio.
