On February 26, 2010, the students were asked to look for representations of 'wealth' in the United States and glue them to one side of a poster board. Then, on the opposite side they were asked what the word 'rich' and 'wealth' meant to many other people in the world.

On the U.S. side images of music, art and leisure, cars, fast food, medication, beauty products, pocket books, money, jewelery, credit cards, diamonds, and technology appeared.

On the other side, the students defined 'wealth' in a very different way by cutting out images representing family, love, happiness, rain, food, culture, freedom, shelter, water, and clothing.

Cutting and pasting...

Identifying the images.

Compiling the ideas.


The final products!
