Now available in paper! To celebrate cultural differences, Windows
on the World offers opportunities for research into various ethnic
and national groups. It also promotes reading through thematic
activities centered around diverse cultural celebrations. Together,
students and teachers learn about customs, food, games, and art
forms from around the world. Students explore varied art forms,
from sculpture, print-making, batik, and puppetry, to drama, music,
dancing, cooking, and writing. Heath encourages students to learn
about the cultures of Islam, Judaism, and Buddhism through detailed
examination of the secular manifestations of holidays, rituals,
games, and art work peculiar to them. One entire festival is based
on the hobby of foreign stamp collecting. Other festivals take
participants to Britain, Italy, Japan, Southeast Asia, and to the
lands of Native Americans. Still others include Hispanic-American
and African-American art, music, and culture. The book is profusely
illustrated with photographs, diagrams, activity sheets, maps,
bulletin board ideas, and easy-to-follow detailed instructions for
arts and crafts projects. Cloth edition [0-8108-2880-4] published
in 1995.
