CULTURE
Contributor: Destiny Pennington Sample NearPod Lesson In this unit, second graders will identify various cultural groups within the U.S. and their community. Students may not understand what culture is or that there are other cultures beside their own and how they function. Students will have learning experiences through eld trips, being partnered with students of di erent cultures, and using devices to record videos of people doing what is considered “normal” for their culture. These various activities will guide students' understanding of di erent cultures and allow them to see how they are similar or di erent from their own. Learning about other cultures within the U.S. and their community will help students be more understanding of people, how they act, why they act the way they do and learn to respect others despite their di erences. Students will explore how collaboration and respect for others is necessary to achieve and maintain a functioning society. 2.01 Identify various cultural groups within the U.S. and the students’ community. 2.02 Compare and contrast the beliefs, customs, ceremonies, and traditions of the various cultures represented in the U.S.
