Brief Overview: The story of 2 little boys, one from Sydney, Australia, and the other from Morocco, Africa. Each displays a day in their lives and how they somehow became interconnected.
Integrated Activity: With a set of partners, elaborate on the story, one student being the Australian child, and one the Middle Eastern child. Each student would walk their partner through the pictures and explain what is happening. This works on emergent reading and making meaning from pictures.
