Applying: What questions would you ask Kailash about his culture or country if you were Elliot writing from the United States? Elliot and Kailash are new pen pals. As they share letters, they share the differences and similarities of their lives in Elliot’s America and Kailash’s India. Both boys like to climb trees. Their families are very different with Elliot living with his mother, father and baby sister and Kailash living with an extended family of 23. They both have pets, but the pets are different. Both boys take a bus to school, but the communities are very different except for the traffic. The boys discover that they can be friends despite their obvious differences by looking to see how much they are actually they same. These simple cards are illustrated with simple, vibrant illustrations that will get your learners invested in the activity and help you with how to teach same and different with speech therapy. Rest assured that all these materials are created by people with knowledge in the field to help those that teach. The straight forward yet clever text is in a large font, in several colors, making this a good choice as a storytime read-aloud. The boys learn through questions, comments and pictures that they both love to climb trees, have pets, and go to school where they enjoy their favorite class.

From the bestselling author of How Are You Feeling Today?, this picture book encourages children to celebrate uniqueness and diversity and helps them to challenge stereotypes. There are so many ways that teachers could use this book in their classroom. One way is as a read aloud at the beginning of the year to build a sense of community and acceptance. It could be used to start a research project about their own cultures and/or exploring another culture that they would like to know more about. This book could be used to introduce letter writing and be a reason to seek out a pen pal for the class. Creating: Invent a new scenario. Draw a new picture for Kailash about America and what you do for fun.

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in. This is a story about two boys who are “Picture Pals” instead of Pen pals; they draw art and send it to each other. One boy seems to be from a big city in America, the other boy seems to be from India (they never really say in the story). Throughout the story, they draw about their families, towns, languages and schools. The connection I made with this book is a text to self connection in part of the book where the boys send pictures of how they say “hello” in each of their cultures. I don’t have or have ever had a pen pal, much less a “Picture Pal,” but I do have some deaf friends whom communicate differently in their language. They say “hello” and any words to communicate using their hands, whereas in the speaking culture, we can talk. These friends have taught me a lot about their culture by using signs and understanding that even though they may be Caucasian, the deaf people have their own culture since they are not hearing. They taught me at a young age of third grade, that even though we live in the same places, the way they are treated is not often very kind. So just because people live in the same country, doesn’t always mean they have the same culture, but we are all humans and just want to be friendly toward each other. Same Same But Different comes with 400 cards, a notepad, and instructions, making it easy to set up and play. So gather your friends and get ready for a night of laughs with Same Same But Different.

Why do you think the author ended the text with the phrase, “different, different but the same,” instead of, “same, same but different?” (Evaluating) Applying: What kinds of questions would you ask in your letter to Kailash? What kinds of questions would you ask in your letter to Elliot? Creating: Create a new pen pal who is from Mexico. How would you rewrite the selection from this pen pal's point of view? Analyzing: How would you compare and contrast Elliot and Kailash? How are they the same? How are they different?

Evaluating: Where would you want to write a letter if you could write a letter to a pen pal in another country? Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special. This fun activity looks at similarities and differences between objects. This activity will support categories, vocabulary development, links between words and the concepts of 'same' and 'different'. On each card are two items from the same category, for example, a mobile phone and a landline phone. The student has to describe how they are the same and how they are different. This is an excellent activity for speech and language therapists, teachers, EAL teachers and parents as it allows those who teach to test their learners' knowledge on the matter. Elliot and Kailash are picture pals who learn about their similarities and differences as they mail pictures to one another. This story reminds me of the pen pal I had when I was in elementary school. In third grade we were given the names of students, also in third grade, from another state. We were each paired up with a pen pal to whom we would write monthly. Through our letters, we were able to find things we had in common and also shared some differences about where we lived, what our schools were like, and what we liked to do for fun. My pen pal experience ended once I was out of third grade, but it was one of the things I liked most about school that year.

Components

A. Text to Self Connection: I love meeting people who are not from Omaha and especially when they are not from the United States. I find it fascinating to hear their stories. I notice our differences but, I'm amazed by our similarities. For instance, I was looking at a photo from a refugee camp in Thailand and was amazed to see satellite dishes fixed to the top of some of the bamboo homes and hear that many of these bamboo homes were wired for television!
