Today in our class we did a very neat and engaging activity. We each brought in a picture of our neighborhood, and then discussed the pictures in detail in class. After we all taped our pictures next to each other, we were able to see the similarities and differences between them.
I thought that this activity was very engaging for us as college students, but it would be even more so for the students we will be teaching. After doing a lesson today on being a good citizen of a community, I realized that kids are very in tune as to what a community has, doesn't have, and what they want it to have. By seeing what each person defines as their "neighborhood", they can also be lead into seeing how other people view the world.
