Lesson: Recording the history and creating the future of our society
4th Grade
Theme Concept: Home
What is the definition of “home” to you? What are the objects and/or characteristics that represent your home? Homes, or dwellings, are locations where people not only once reside in, but also places where memories and experiences are developed. The concept of dwellings is important to understand because it allows us to examine the environment we live in and make the changes needed to enrich our life experiences. One of the many requirements to making these improvements is to reflect on current situations. By examining the pros and cons of current conditions will help to make decisions that best corresponds with the aspects that need to be altered and improved upon.
Non-Art Discipline Concept: Historical Records
Historical records of cultures and lifestyles are crucial to not only the study of human development, but for the future as well. Cave paintings and architecture are only two of many ways society has recorded their lifestyles. Examining past accomplishments and failures contribute to the inventions of future technologies that further develop the quality of future lifestyles.
