| 520 | |a This primary social studies unit, designed to teach an awareness of the Americas, is appropriate for teaching kindergarten through third grade students about Ecuador. The activities could easily be adapted to fit Mexico and many other countries in Central and South America. Eleven basic concepts are developed in this unit. The concepts are: (1) "We live on the North American continent"; (2) "The South American continent is south of North America"; (3) "Ecuador is a country in South America"; (4) "Ecuador is a land with high volcanic mountains, valleys, a sea coast, and jungles"; (5) "The climate of Ecuador is different than Indiana"; (6) "Ecuador has different kinds of plants"; (7) "Ecuador has many different kinds of animals"; (8) "The people in Ecuador speak different languages"; (9) "The people in Ecuador may dress differently than we do"; (10) "The people in Ecuador enjoy stories and music that are different than ours"; and (11) "The flag of Ecuador is different from our flag." Activities are designed to teach each concept through a variety of teaching methods and materials. Map, art, reading, Spanish language, and cultural appreciation skills are developed. There are several attitudinal goals for this unit. These are: (1) children will have an appreciation for a different culture; (2) children will realize, that although a culture may be quite different, people have the same basic feelings and needs; and (3) children will realize that our culture is dependent on other countries for certain products. Directions for initiating and concluding the unit are suggested. In one activity, an Ecuadorian market day, the students sell items resembling those sold in an actual market in booths constructed using sheets, ladders, and chairs. The students buy items with paper money resembling Ecuadorian money. The unit concludes with patterns of a monkey, a donkey, and a parrot to cut out for use in the activities. A brief bibliography is included. (APG) | ||
