This unit introduces students to a discussion of calendars, seasons and families around the world. Students partake in an activity of preparing a calendar for the current year. It is therefore recommended that this unit is taught at the beginning of the school year. The students then compare this calendar with other calendars around the world and examine the role of seasons in different calendars. They are introduced to the idea of different time zones, seasons and climates around the world. Students then examine how these differences impact families in a global context by looking at where in the world their family members currently live or have ever lived. Students analyse the impact of the weather on daily activities and examine how this has changed through time.
