CPSHE - WALT: Identify and describe and respect the different groups that make up our community
Introduction
Think about everyone who is in the class. What can you think of that makes everyone different from each other?
Just as the class is made up of lots of different people, all with individual attributes and qualities, so our society is made up of lots of different groups of people who similarly all have their own attributes and qualities.
You are going to think about some of those different groups of people and think about what they bring to society in the United Kingdom.
The Land of the Red People
Read the story The Land of the Red People story (see below).
Follow up with some key questions about the story such as:
- Were the Red People happy before the other people arrived in their land?
- How did they feel as the other people arrived in their land?
- Do you think the land was better or worse for having all the different people living there? Why?
- Why do you think the Leader’s son thought it would be better to have just the Red People living in the land again? Would you have agreed with him? Why / why not?
- What do you think the message of the story is?
This story is a metaphor. [a metaphor is a term or phrase that is used to make a comparison between two things that aren't exactly alike but have something in common.]
