  Contrast Locality-O'seas

Life on St Lucia
http://www.ictadvice.org.uk/index.php?section=tl&cat=001001004&rid=4866
Children investigated St Lucia as a contrasting overseas locality for half a term. The activity involved using a range of ICT media, including an interactive atlas, CD-ROMs, video and the internet, to acquire information. The children also used email to exchange information and desktop publishing to communicate information.
The activity was completed by Year 2 children in a Peak District village school.

A contrasting locality overseas - Tocuaro
http://www.standards.dfee.gov.uk/schemes/geography/geo22?version=1
This ‘short’ unit introduces a distant locality through aspects of life that will be familiar to children such as housing, cooking and going to school. The unit is based on a small area; this allows children to compare it more easily with their own local area. The unit is based on a pack produced by The Geographical Association about the village of Tocuaro in Mexico. However, alternative packs – for example, St Lucia (Worldaware), Bangladesh: the Hawlader Family (ActionAid) – are available and the unit has been designed so that it can be used when studying other places.
The links to other subjects could be extended to, for example, music and design and technology.
