We’re All Alike…We’re All Different

Students explore the theme of diversity through literature & discover how it applies to their classroom community. The lesson begins with an activity to build awareness that
all groups represent overlapping areas of similarities & differences. Students then listen to a read-aloud of the picture book Friends by Rob Lewis or Chester’s Way by
Kevin Henkes & participate in a whole-group literature discussion. This lesson can be incorporated into a ELA unit to develop reading comprehension, comparison making & critical-thinking skills.
