Introduction (10 minutes)

The day before your lesson, instruct your students to bring pictures from home that they can paste into a

book that they will make.

Explain to your students that they are going to be discussing families.

Discuss with your students what family means to them. Potential discussion questions include:

"How do families work together?"

"Who is a part of a family, what are some things family members do for each other?"

"What events do they share with each other?"

"What are some places they go together?"

"How are families the same and how are they different?"

"What do families around the world look like?"

"How do you feel about your family?"

List on the board some details students share.
