Why do people move? Why do they stay where they are? Today you will take a look at the many complicated reasons people decide where they are living is no longer working for them. Sometimes it can be a small move to a new neighbourhood, other times it can be across the world. Both types of moves presents its challenges. We will take a closer look at those challenges today.

How would your life be different if you lived across the globe?
What does your average day look like? What do you have for breakfast? How do you get to school? What do you do after school? Do you think your live is similar to those around you? What about those across the globe, in either Australia, Asia or Africa?
Our upcoming unit in Social Studies/ELA will focus on our lives and lives of people across the globe. What do we share in common? What makes us different?
We will be creating an Infographic along with a diary entry from our own personal perspective and an imaginary perspective, if we were to live in a completely different location across the globe.
You will be responsible for choosing your location and making connections between your life here and how your live would be similar and/or different if you lived somewhere else.
We'll put our infographics and diary entries together to make a classroom book we can share with other students, teachers and parents.
We are doing this so we can gain a better understand of our personal word and the world around us, and to build our critical thinking skills.
Today we'll start by watching a video that shows a quick comparison to the lives of two different people - a boy living in Guatemala (not in Asia, Africa or Australia mind you, but it gets the point across) and a girl living in the United States.
How are these two lives different? How are they the same? In your Writer's Notebook, we will create a chart and record our thinking.
