Lyndy Cracknell (St Catherine's Junior School, Waverley, NSW) sent this link to
a couple of her mates ... http://www.yesmag.bc.ca/projects/geodesic.html, the
idea to make two and join them, and the Book Week theme, One World Many Stories.
So my brain started and this is what I came up with ...
Make it a class challenge to construct one as part of the science and maths
curricula. Or get the older classes to help the youngers. Or individual
challenges using straws.
Or cover the finished dome with blue tissue/cellophane paper and as part of the
geography curriculum have them paste on green continents and white polar areas.
Read Around the World. Mark a route around the world. Calculate the kilometres
and create a scale. Assign a kilometre value per book and a class/classes to a
continent. Kinders get the smallest continent or distance; 5/6 the largest.
Classes/individuals read books (fiction or non fiction) from the continent, or
set in it, and map their part of the journey colouring in the route as they
cover the kilometres. Challenge is to read around the world before the end of
book week.
Identify/ graph the origins of the students in your school. Mark on a map.
Locate stories from each country. Have students from each country prepare a
poster about that country to be displayed on their national day.
Ask for people to lend dolls in national costumes for a display.
Have parents/grandparents come in to tell traditional tales from their native
country to all students.
Have guests who are fluent in the children's languages come in and tell stories/
speak to them in their own language.
Use Jennifer's Language Page http://users.elite.net/runner/jennifers/ to find
out how to say common phrases in hundreds of languages.
Use http://flags2000.com.au/world.htm or http://www.flags.net/ or
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/docs/flagsoftheworld
.html for kids to get flags and country information. They could draw their own.
Investigate, compare and contrast the different versions of Cinderella from
around the world.
Investigate the importance of oral storytelling traditions to the sustainability
of a culture.
Investigate the ways stories can be told without using the spoken word - how do
those who are deaf or blind enjoy stories? Can you make a story with just
music, dance or pictures? (If you haven't seen Swan Lake from the Chinese State
Circus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sMc-p19FIk then it's a must)
Perhaps enough for now but it is a great theme and so easy. And Sharon
McGuinness can add them to her one stop shop at
