M-1-S-CAP-18-A Chart

36x24 inch chart titled 'WORLD NEIGHBORS & CITIZENS FAIR - VISITOR GUIDE.' Top: 'Visit each child's station. At each station: receive a stamp on your passport, hear the child explain three things (world neighbor, citizenship promise, where they belong).' Bottom: 5 visitor-question prompts. Visitor passport cards 5x7 inch with 20 stamp boxes.

Welcome family and community visitors to our WORLD NEIGHBORS & CITIZENS FAIR. Each child has a station with three things: (1) ONE CITIZENSHIP PROMISE on a card; (2) ONE WORLD-NEIGHBOR POSTER showing a child of one of the 5 sampler countries (Mexico, Japan, Ghana, India, France) in any one of the 5 life-domains (home/school/play/food/language); (3) ONE MAP of their world-neighbor country pinned to the MG-7 class world map with a small paper flag. We also share our CIVIC ACTION mini-project (decided in lesson 9). Visitors, please ask: 'What is one thing you LEARNED this term?' and 'What do you STILL WONDER?' Each visitor receives a passport card and gets it stamped at each station.

• You are the EXPERTS today. Visitors come to learn from YOU.

  model Each child uses 4 sentence frames: 'My world neighbor is ___ from ___. They ___. My citizenship promise is ___. I belong to ___ (rings on Nested Place-Map).' Visitors stamp passport cards.

  prompt Children present at their stations as visitors flow through.
• Our civic action mattered. We DID it.

  model Class committee chair (elected lesson 17) reports on civic-action progress.

  prompt Final group circle - class shares civic-action mini-project results.
