Suggested Activity Introduction There are times in life that we might all feel isolated from others. As the only African-Americans in small town Iowa, Cora and her family lived with isolation on a daily basis. Brainstorming Activity Have the class brainstorm to come up with ideas of how people among them in their community or school might have felt or still do feel isolated. In both multi-cultural or homogeneous communities, there are other conditions that may make people feel alone. In pairs, students should look to their communities and the society a large to research organizations that try to bring people together.
Students can research organizations that also attempt to bring people together.
