Less than $5 5th Grade Character Education Independent Work Packet (by date, oldest first)

Engage students in exploring cultural diversity through enlightening interviews and vibrant creative projects focused on food. Foster empathy, curiosity, and global awareness.

This 13-page project-based (PBL) unit features three assignments for students to explore cultural diversity through:

• "Mon projet de patrimoine familiale": Interviewing their own family members and creating a brochure or pamphlet summarizing their family's traditions.

• Included with this project is a lesson plan with suggestions, rubric, success criteria, a letter to parents (in both English and French) as well as the interview (in both English and French).

• "Mon héritage culinaire": A class recipe book activity featuring your students' traditional recipes used in their families and passed down through generations.

• Included with this project is success criteria with explanations.

• Includes simple recipe template sheet.

• "L'exploration des plats culturels": A project that will have students creating a realistic, informative ethnic cuisine menu.

• Included with this project are 6 short stories about kids around the world and their culinary traditions (Japan, China, Africa, India, Mexico and Greece).

• Also included are success criteria and explanations as well as a rubric.

I use this product with my 5th graders, but teaching cultural diversity, acceptance and global awareness are universal. This project-based resource would work for students in grades 5 through 9.

For goodness sakes, don't forget to have fun!
