Resource+Ideas

PBS Television's website has 'Helping Out' games that would be of some relevance to this unit: http://pbskids.org/games/helpingout.html The also have some games that relate, though not as many, in their 'Social and Emotional Games" : http://pbskids.org/games/socialandemotional.html

The other resource I would have liked to include, but did not have time to research, would be to have class emails sent to a number of locations in Canada and other countries to student/classes of the same age and/or grade level. This way my students could interact with children from various worldviews and get direct answers to task sharing. For example, my cousin lives in the Netherlands and has a sever year old daughter. I could set up a email exchange with him to get his daughter's take on the topics addressed in this unit. This would be a better resource than the non-fiction books I found, as these books were not specific enough. I would have to speculate on many of the tasks done in the family and who does these tasks.
