This lesson will help students develop an understanding how climate influences the type of homes a person builds and the way a person dresses. The material will show how different communities have different cultures. Students know and understand the structure, processes and interactions of Earth's systems and the dynamics of the solar system and the inverse. This can be done by creating clothing for a paper doll or a figure drawn on paper.
Students are able to explain orally or in writing why they designed the clothes the way they did.
Discuss similarities and differences among students' homes. This Is My House by Arthur Dorros. Using small pictures of the homes found in the story, students paste them on that location on a world map. Discuss similarities among the houses found within a particular region. Students design clothing for a person living in one of the regions from the book for the assessment.
