The last culture we are studying is South Africa. Students are learning about the Big Five wildlife, art, life of a kid, the apartheid, and Nelson Mandela. It's a lot to squeeze into one lesson. We also read some South African folktales and discussed the importance of animals to South Africans throughout history and during our present time. Students then used tissue paper to create an African sunset scene and traced African animal silhouettes on to black construction paper to give the effect of South African wildlife walking the Savannah at sunset. A little messy, but so much fun! Many classes have not gotten to this lesson yet, so lots of great artwork to come!
