Introduction: Begin the lesson by discussing with the students what they already know about different countries and cultures. Introduce the concept of global perspectives and explain why it is important to learn about and respect different ways of life.

Main Part of the Lesson: 1. Share new knowledge with the children by presenting information about different countries, their cultures, traditions, and perspectives on global issues. 2. Stimulate discussion points by asking questions such as “How do you think people in other countries celebrate holidays?” or “What are some global issues that affect people around the world?” 3. Set and allow time for children to complete an activity based on the new learning, such as creating a presentation about a specific country or participating in a cultural exchange activity.
