About this lesson
Join ROM Educators for a lesson where students will explore three cultures through the lens of one of the many possible themes. Let's explore what it means to be human!
The ways we live our lives today provide not only a glimpse into our future but are a reflection of various human activity in the past. With such a wonderful diversity of peoples and cultures on Earth, we come together to understand that not everyone thinks, creates, moves, or lives in the same way. How have these interactions affected our lives, the environment and everything around us today?
