Have students brainstorm sights and sounds in the school neighbourhood and record them in the proper places. Have groups make a T-chart. Facts and opinions Present students with facts and opinions about neighbourhoods and ask them to distinguish between facts and opinions. Children in a rural neighbourhood often ride to school on a bus. Small town neighbourhoods are the best.
Suburban neighbourhoods are parts of a larger city.
People are friendlier in rural neighbourhoods. People in rural neighbourhoods live further apart than people in the other types of neighbourhoods. The teacher may choose to use learning experiences about other communities to introduce stereotype, assumptions, bias, and point of view. Start with a large piece of paper. Cut it up into puzzle-shaped pieces, making one for every student.
