We are different Level 1
Introduction
Welcome to our exploration of diversity! In this lesson, we will discover how our differences make us unique. From our hair and skin color to our interests and hobbies, every one of us has something special to share. Let’s dive in and learn more about what makes us different and why that’s important!
Definition and Concept
Diversity means having many different types of people or things. In our case, it refers to the variety of characteristics we see in ourselves and others. These can include:
- Physical Traits: Such as hair color, skin color, and eye color.
- Interests: Hobbies, favorite foods, and activities.
- Cultural Background: Traditions, languages, and customs.
Relevance: Understanding diversity helps us appreciate each other and build stronger communities.
Historical Context or Origin
Diversity has always existed among humans. Throughout history, people have come from different places, cultures, and backgrounds. Celebrating diversity has become an important part of modern society, as it helps us learn from one another and promotes inclusion.
Understanding the Problem
Recognizing our differences is the first step in understanding diversity. Let’s explore how we can discuss and celebrate these differences:
- Think about your own traits.
- Consider how they compare to your friends and classmates.
