Students will have their own display, organized by their name (using the information from subtopic 1), and share information about what is important about their family. Included will be the videos and voice threads, and other work that highlight their collective understanding of what a family is so that they can share this knowledge with their families and other members of the school and community. Parents and students will be welcome to bring other things from their own families to showcase the uniqueness of their families. Together, this culminating activity will create an inclusive, diverse representation of families. ]]> 2018-12-02 21:30:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jacquelinenwong/4y1yas1vhykd/wish/310224686
