II. Lesson Plan and Activities, Lesson 2 Cultural Values in Everyday Life
With your group, brainstorm a list of values that are important in your culture.
Guidelines for your discussion:
• Does everyone in your group need to have the same values?
• What can your group do if someone has a value that is different from the rest of the group?
• Can you include values that not everyone in the group agrees with?
Values That Are Important in Your Culture
Example: Love of Nature
Activities Showing that Value in Action
• Collecting plastic for recycling
• Planting a tree
• Hiking in the forest with a family
Compare your group’ s list of values to the list of values created by other Rainforest ArtLink participants( next page)
• How are your group’ s values the same or different from other Rainforest ArtLink participants?
• Can you think of reasons why you might have the same or different values from children who live in other countries?
Questions to think about when your group is finished with the activity
• How did your group deal with different ideas about values and how they are shown?
• Did you learn something new about the classmates in your group?
• How will this activity help you plan for your own artwork?
