In Program 1 students are introduced to several peer-age children and their facilitator, Mr. Kelly, in the Exploratorium. The children enjoy seeing a video clip of an ethnic dance performance, but they wonder if culture involves more than race, ethnicity, performance, and other visible manifestations. Mr. Kelly challenges each child to discover more about Wisconsin culture. Learning Objectives Students will understand that culture involves more than race and ethnicity. It includes the behavior patterns, arts, beliefs, institutions, and all other products of human work and thought.
Culture is complex and ever-evolving.
These videos will be complemented by a CD-ROM, teacher guide, and a Web site.
