Description

But the text quickly becomes a blur of numbers and facts – and Shelagh Armstrong’s double-page spreads are unlikely to energize or focus young readers: with their monotonous compositions and colours, stylized landscapes, and faceless people, her paintings quickly become tedious. It is important to be thoughtful about how the data are presented because sometimes key messages can be missed out because of the way the data are shown. The visitors can be children from their own class, other classes from within the school, parents, members of staff, governors .

By shrinking the planet down to a village of just 100 people, children will discover how to grow up global and establish their own place in the world village.As well as interpreting real data, this activity gives an opportunity to consider how data are presented and interpreted. Both Granfield’s and Smith’s books attempt to rouse young readers’ interest in the world, past and present, and make them examine their place in it. This book can also be tied into other subjects such as math, history, and art as many dimensions of the diverse world are addressed.

This information could also of course be recorded on small devices (such as Talking Tins or Talk-Time Postcards) which could be sited next to the displays. A. Times, and the Associated Press, among others, have acknowledged Smith and the success of his curriculum.Synopsis: It is really difficult to imagine just how many people live on our planet and what they are like. It makes ideas about people in the world comprehensible by positing that there are only 100 people in the world.
