This lesson incorporates language arts, social studies and computers to examine different cultural
stories. Students will start by researching a story from their cultural background, share these
stories with their classmates and celebrate a variety of cultural traditions.

This social studies lesson uses a story of the Moai statues of Easter Island to discuss
the culture and mystery behind the island. Students work together in small groups
to create their own story of how the statues came to be there.

A Russian fairytail about Baba Yaga, the main part of the unit will be told several times. The story contains many examples of compassion and empathy which will hopefully instill a deeper connection and understanding of empathy in students. The storytelling approach has been used to reach the children in an indirect way of learning.

This lesson was developed with the goal of teaching peace and tolerance though the rich gifts of
Ukrainian folktales. Students will have an opportunity to practice their storytelling skills based on past
experiences, engage in a map making activity and hear the story of The Bear From That Other World.

This project is based on a literature study of Hana's Suitcase and consists of five separate activities. The goal
of the activities is to build understanding and empathy within the classroom community. Students will construct personal timelines, examine factors impacting identity and make three wishes they have for the world.

This grade one Social Studies unit will be looked at in the context of storytelling and peace
