Return to the web created in Activity 4. Ask children to compare the features of the shelters from other cultures with those on the web. For example, choose a picture that shows people cooking outside their shelter. Maybe it is not a need to cook inside our shelter. As another example, choose a picture that shows people playing outside a shelter.
Contrast wants and needs.
Depending on the pictures, you may contrast ways of heating a shelter, places to sleep, furniture, etc. If children cannot make the connection, ask them to remember the first activity about wanting versus needing crayons, pencils and scissors. Remind them that people need shelter so that they will be safe and protected from the weather. People meet this need in different ways. The important thing is that needs are met in some way.
