Description

Teamwork, collaboration, and developing awareness of the importance of webs.

الاتجاهات

  • يقف الطلاب في دائرة. 
  • Start by saying, “I am the sun,” and throwing a ball of yarn to a student, without letting go of the end. 
  • The student who catches the ball must name something that depends on the sun to live (e.g., a tree) by saying, “I am a _________.”
  • Without letting go of the string, they throw the ball to another student, who must name something that is either dependent on or connected to the previous life form. 
  • Whoever catches the ball of yarn continues to build the web of life until everyone has answered.
  • Once the web is established, the Teacher places a beach ball or other soft object in the center of the web. Ask the students to move the object around without letting it fall, by moving their yarn around. 
  • انعكاس: The whole group reflects on the key elements of a web as a system of support. You can close by posing the following questions: 
    • “How are you supported by the web of life?” 
    • “How is the web of life being threatened in your communities?”

الانتقال إلى النشاط

Ask students to form a circle. If needed, stagger the group’s transition with a strategy like, “Anyone whose name starts with a vowel, make your way to the circle.”

الانتقال من النشاط

“Travel back to your desk as the living thing you named as part of the web.”
