Through reflection and a creative mapping activity, students will see that, even though commonalities bring people together, it is the differences people bring to a community that makes it special.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this activity, students will:

• Define different types of communities they belong to;
• Understand that belonging to a community means respecting differences
• Identify various members of their school community and explain why they are important.
