Teach Me about Sikhism

Teach me about Sikhism is a comprehensive thematic unit. Its 60 reproducible pages are filled with a wide variety of ideas, games, and activities designed for use with children ranging from ages 6 to 12. The strength of this book lies in its balanced approach, which involves young learners in every aspect of the communicative process (speaking, reading, writing, listening, and drawing). In this way skills and knowledge grow quickly as children are stimulated by involvement and interest in the topic at hand. Moreover, not only are academic skills improved upon but also social skills. A development which can no longer be neglected let alone taken for granted in today's ever-communicative world. Children must learn to work cooperatively in order to be successful in modern society; and parents and teachers must do their best at including social objectives as well as academic in their child's education. This thematic unit contains: - Work sheets: basic summary of theme - Trading cards: fun cards to synthesize learning and stimulate group activities - Drawing guides: confidence-building techniques to enhance observation, motor, and creative skills - Internet scavenger hunt: activities that challenge children to use and become more familiar with computers as a research mechanism - Writing ideas: suggestions for writing activities - Creative thinking: ideas for creative thinking - Projects: activities designed to foster cooperative learning - Games and more games: games to build problem-solving skills - Bulletin board: suggestions and plan for theme related interactive bulletin board -Bibliography: suggested literature, software and Internet resources The classroom teacher may reproduce copies of materials in this book for classroom use only.
