Product Description:

In our increasingly diverse and multicultural society, it’s more important than ever for teachers to foster inclusion and awareness in the classroom. The increase in diversity doesn’t only relate to race and ethnicity; it can include students of different religions, economic statuses, gender identities, and students with disabilities. Teachers can encourage acceptance and help students to thrive in our diverse world.

This product is designed to make comparisons of diversity in nature and how people can be very diverse. There is beauty in both. It is what makes us unique.

Included in this Product:

• 3 Informational Text passages on Diversity in Trees and Diversity in People.
• 3 corresponding comprehension activities including a Venn Diagram for a compare and contrast activity, a matching activity, and an art extension activity.
• A list of character traits to go along with the art project.
• A suggested book list for readings about trees.
• A suggested book list on the Diversity of People and all living things.

This resource contains two non-fiction texts. One about the history of agriculture and the problems of agriculture is having on the environment. The second passage is about the history and impact of industries on the environment

There is a lesson plan to follow and worksheets to go along with this.

The passages were written with fifth graders in mind, but the information is very interesting and would be useful for upper grades as well.
