Around the World…IN STORIES
Stories, songs, history, and heritage that bring African-American traditions to life.
Vietnam. Malawi. Germany. Okinawa. West Virginia. California. Rhode Island. Mississippi. Ms. Sheila has traveled to various parts of the world and around the country and everywhere she goes she gathers stories. Stories from the area and stories about the people, the culture and interesting places to visit will be shared with students. There will also be at least one story told from two different cultures and students will be asked to look at why those differences are made. This is great to kick off a geography unit and specific areas can be looked out. Grab your books, jump on board and let’s go around the world…IN STORIES.
