• Using the “Family Photos” collage, select two families to highlight.
  • Share one photo at a time with the students, saying, “This is a picture of a family!” Point to each person in the picture and ask students who they think that person is to the family (mother, baby, grandfather, etc.). 
  • Ask students if the family members in the photo are all the same or if they see any differences. Point out and name any differences that students don’t highlight on their own. 
  • When you have looked closely at each photo separately, ask students how two families are the same and different. Use the following questions to spark ideas: (1) Who are the family members in each family? (2) How many people are in each family? How many children? How many adults? (3) Do the people in each family all have the same skin color or different skin color?
