Any ideas out there for teaching World Cultures to 3rd graders?
It is open-ended (a little too open-ended for me ), so anything would be appreciated..

Worldscapes

Heinemann has a series of paperback books called Worldscapes. Each country has a paperback biography, nonfiction text, and folktale included. We also teach world cultures by doing Cinderella stories around the world. Students listen to the stories for specific information that we fill out on sheets, and each child glues the info into a blank, "bare" book. We bought the ones with the continents on the covers, and they color them. We also have passports that were made from file folders. Each time we use one of the Worldscape books, see a video, make a flag etc., they fill out a page that we 3-hole punch into their passport folder.
