The Big Question & Task

The focus of this activity is to answer the following questions:

What about this Big Wide World, huh?

How does it all work?

With partners you will explore aspects of life on our planet that we call "Windows on the World." Why do you think we're calling these Windows on the World?

After you've learned a lot about one of these "windows," you'll work as a member of a larger group to make up with some rules that explain how the planet, animals, plants, people, their cultures and communication interact and overlap. Big job, huh? That's why we picked you!

When you're ready to get started, you'll choose or be assigned one Window on the World.
