LEARNING PLAN
Essential Question
  • Are people all the same?
  • How do I see myself? Is it the same way others see me?
  • How am I the same as other people? How am I different from other people?
  • What identities do I share with my family? What identities do I have that are different from my family?
  • Does my identity mean I get to do things other kids can’t, or keep me from doing something?
  • How can I learn more about other people?
