How Do We All Live Together?

Explore the concepts of community and point of view with these activities complementing the children's book Voices in the Park by Anthony Browne. Following a class reading of the story, ask students to either draw a map of the neighborhood described in the book, create another version of story from different point of view, or write a newspaper article from multiple perspectives. Assign the class a specific activity to complete, or include these options in a learning menu that allows learners to make their own choice.
