Folklife For The Classroom
Folklife studies offer opportunities for inter-generational interaction, diversity studies, and an opportunity to document family folklife. Encourage your students to learn more about their family's quilts. What do you eat on Thanksgiving Day? Do you know someone who plays or sings traditional music? How does your family celebrate the Forth of July? What were the games played by your parents when they were in school? Bring parents and grandparents into the classroom to talk about their family folklife.
