6) Home Poster
History:
The picture of planet earth on a black background, was a teaching tool of the "Planet in Every Classroom" project. In taking the picture to various classrooms, as part of the Vision Changer Project and having students discuss what they saw, there was noticeable reaction in the classroom when the term "home" was applied to the picture. Having observed this reaction in many classrooms, we decided to print the poster with the word "home" on it, and this version is now in thousands of classrooms and "homes" around the world.
How to use.
Place poster in home, in children’s room, on fridge, have framed and hung in a appropriate place in the home. Use as a focal point for discussion on interconnectedness of all things..
The poster has been used in grades 5/6 settings as a visual when playing the story th"The Last One". The teacher shut off the lights in the room duiring the story, and as the story came to a conclusion, a flashlight was used to bring light to the world. Apparently this technique has a very profound effect.
