Full Session Description (as long as you would like):  Students will engage in the exploration of culture--their own and that of others.  They will learn what "culture" means, and they will think about and share the many dimensions of their unique personal culture related to areas of their life such as school, home, ancestry, neighborhood, city, town, state, country, and areas of interest.  They'll create culture flags and circle graphs to depict their personal culture.  This unit is meant to be an introductory unit in global studies for intermediate elementary students--a unit which helps children develop their lens for working with, learning from and engaging people from cultures both similar and different than their own.
