Notes

Make an anchor chart illustrating the relationships of the people in the community who provide for themselves and each other. What are the roles and responsibilities? Is this fair? In what ways do these relationships exist in other cultures, including our own? Examine how these lines of interdependence influence or reflect the values in a culture.
