Exploring Communities Alike and Different
Students will learn how communities are similar to each other and what makes them each different in this live-action program, featuring dramatic re-enactments along with helpful maps and graphics. The program explores how the natural resources and people of a community affect the traditions, culture and way of life, and looks at how the differences in each community are important to the economic and social relationships between communities. Viewers will also visit a variety of homes in a neighborhood and learn what other types of buildings make up a community. Running Time:11 min 15 sec Grades:K to 3 What Is A Community? Whether it is in a big city, a small rural town or someplace in between, a community is where people live, work, learn and play. What Is a Community? introduces viewers to the places that make up most communities, including local businesses, schools, city hall, the library and more! They will discover that while all communities have many things in common, they differ from each other in many ways as well.
