COMMUNITY QUILT

.

Objectives/ Learning Goals:

To learn, value, and appreciate the various cultural elements that are present in Canada and its communities.

..

Activity Description:

For this class activity, each student will create one section for a class quilt which will be collated by the teachers.

.

This activity can be interpreted in any different way you wish. What we are looking for are signs, symbols, and drawings of the things that your class feels are important in their community and in their daily lives. This can include places, people, plants, trees, animals, clothes, foods, etc. – anything that the students want to show to share what is like to live in their neighbourhood community.

.

Students can draw using any medium – pencil, pencil crayon, paint, charcoal, pastel, etc. and it can be on any type of background – whiteboards, paper, construction paper, etc. so long as all of the quilt pieces are made of the same materials to keep the visuals coherent.

..

Once all students have completed their individual piece of the “quilt”, the teacher will arrange them in a quilt formation and take a picture of the entire quilt.

REMINDER

For student safety, please have students use only initials or first initial and last name on their work.
