Creating A Classroom Community
Description
Students listen to, view, and close read informational texts regarding the traditions other cultures use to tell stories and pass down information. Students will review oral tradition and revisit it from a different angle as they explore the Griot tradition in Africa. Students will look at how symbols can be captured in art through blanket making in Hawaii and quilt making through Patricia Polacco’s story The Keeping Quilt.
