PAGE 21: THE OVERVIEW EFFECT

Astronaut Leland Melvin shares his wonder.

> PURPOSE
This page shares the profound change in perspective that many astronauts experience when they first see the Earth from space. There are no artificial borders, as there are on maps. The atmosphere is a thin protection against the black vacuum of space. The astronauts express their concern for Earth as one fragile planet that we need to take care of and their wishes for international peace.

> QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION

Pre-Kindergarten | Early Elementary

Looking at photos of the Earth from space, do you see any borders between countries?
Have you ever been in a plane? Did you see borders between states or countries?
Why do you think maps have borders between states and countries?
Would you like to travel to space? If so, what would be cool about it?

Late Elementary | Junior Youth

Looking at photos of the Earth from space, do you see any borders between countries?
Have you ever been in a plane? Did you see borders between states or countries?
If you could see the Earth from space, without borders, do you think it would change how you think about it?
Would you like to travel to space? Why or why not?

> ACTIVITIES TO ENHANCE LEARNING

Pre-Kindergarten | Early Elementary

> Where on Earth?
Using photos of the Earth or https://earth.google.com/, find your hometown. What clues do you use to locate it?

> Earth from Space
View Earth from the International Space Station at this NASA link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86YLFOog4GM

Ask students, “How do you think you’d feel if you were on the ISS and looking down at Earth?”

> Interconnectedness Game
Prepare random “noun” cards, or use a set from the game Apples to Apples. After doing the “The Overview Effect” page, read the quote at the top, “Every part of the universe is connected with every other part...” Have students pick two noun cards. Then the class tries to figure out how those two things could be connected.

> Earth Rice Cakes
NOTE: Check with parents or guardians for allergies/dietary restrictions.

Measure one cup of green grapes and one of blueberries. Cut each fruit in half. Mix one package of cream cheese with 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 Tbsp. sugar. Spread cream cheese on a rice cake. Then create an Earth shape by adding grapes to represent land and blueberries to represent the ocean.
https://theeducatorsspinonit.com/little-hands-that-cook-with-books-earth/

> Game: Earth in Motion
Use an Earth ball or a blue ball to represent Earth. Divide kids into groups of about 5-7 players. Each group will need a line to cross during this game. All players will start on the same side of the line. The first player begins the game by hitting the ball into the air and to another player. Once the first player strikes the ball, they must cross over the line. The next player does the same. Continue until the entire group has crossed the line. The last person to hit will start the process again. See how many times you can get your team back and forth across the line before the ball hits the ground. When the ball hits the ground, or is played by someone who is or should be across the line, start over.

Remember: Once a player hits the ball they must cross the line. They may not hit it again until everyone has hit it and the last player sends it back over the line.

PAGES 22-23: INTERVIEW A STARGAZER

Ask questions and strengthen friendships.

> PURPOSE
Most issues of Brilliant Star include a Stargazer article that spotlights the life, work, and kid-friendly perspectives of an inspiring adult Bahá’í. This issue’s “Interview a Stargazer” feature encourages kids to get to know someone on a deeper level. They can interview anyone of any age. There are spaces for photos or drawings of the interview subject, interview questions to ask, and reflection questions for the reader.

> COMPLETING THE ACTIVITY

Pre-Kindergarten | Early Elementary

This activity is most appropriate for children who are confident at writing, but could be done by younger children with the assistance of an adult or youth. Alternatively, the teacher could post icons that represent each question (such as a picture of a thought bubble for “What’s one of your favorite memories?” and a house for “Where do you live?” etc.). The teacher could then model the activity by interviewing one of the students, pointing to the corresponding icon for each question.

Students can divide into pairs and interview each other. After the interview, talk about which answers kids found most interesting or surprising. What attitudes or qualities do they have in common with the person they interviewed? What else did they learn from the experience?

Late Elementary | Junior Youth

Tweens and teens can choose to interview each other, older youth, or adults at the seasonal school. After students have completed their interviews, invite them to share answers that were especially meaningful or enlightening to them (if they have their Stargazer’s permission). Talk with students about how it feels to delve deeper into someone’s personality and history. Ask them to share their reflections on the interview if they feel comfortable doing so.

For students who both conducted an interview and were interviewed by a peer, ask how it felt to be in each role. Which role did they prefer? What were their most important takeaways from the experience?

Late Elementary | Junior Youth

> Magic Friendship Box
With the class sitting in a circle, the teacher starts by saying, “I have a magic friendship box.” Mime a pretend box in front of you, then describe the box’s size, shape, and how it’s decorated. Describe something held in the box that relates to an activity you enjoy. Then ask students to imagine something they enjoy doing and something inside the box that they would use to do that activity.
Next, mime passing the box to a student and ask them to remove an imaginary object from the box and act out its use. Then they should return the object to the box and pass the box to the next person. Continue around the circle.
After everyone has had a turn, ask students questions, such as, “Who remembers which of us enjoys reading?” or “Who learned something new about someone today?”
If some kids are wondering about what another person mimed, go around the circle and have each student name the hobby or interest they shared.
https://www.responsiveclassroom.org/magic-box-activity/

> Communication Challenge
In teams of two, partners have five minutes to learn as much as they can about each other in complete silence. They can act out or draw about themselves, but they can’t make sounds or use words. When time is up, gather as a group. Everyone gets a turn to share what they learned about their partner.
