1.4: Contributions of individuals
In this activity students explore the different ways that individuals may contribute to the various groups to which they belong.
Tasks
- Introduce this activity by explaining that individuals often
use their strengths and abilities to make contributions to the groups
to which they belong or to their communities.
- Ask students
to think of a person who they feel has made a contribution to their
family, local community or school. The person should be someone the
student sees as a contributor, not necessarily a hero.
- Using
large sheets of paper, ask students to design a "commemorative stamp"
in honour of this person and then write a description of the person and
their contribution.
- Once completed, all stamps and their descriptions should be displayed around the classroom in a "hall of fame".
- As a variation to this activity, students may brainstorm or
research people who have made local contributions before designing
stamps. In this case, teachers should ensure that selected contributors
as far as possible reflect the diversity of the local community.
