    Tell students we will be moving on to a new topic
    today, now that we have completed our flags.
    We are going to start today by completing a group
    activity.
    Split the class into groups of 3 using the popsicle
    sticks.
    Have them go sit with their group.
    Give instructions. When students sit with their
    group, they will receive a bundle of strips of
    paper. Each one has an emotion on it. They need
    to put the emotion statements under the heading
    Feelings that make us happy and Feelings that
    make us sad.
    With your group, put them in each heading and
    then categorize them from most important to
    least important.
    Review how to categorize the items (1 =most
    imp 5 = least imp.)
    Model: Do the first one together.

    Think/pair/share.
    - How is the characters life different or the
    same from our own lives? Think/Pair/Share.
    Explain that we will be learning about the quality
    of life of the kids in each of the four countries. But
    it is important to remember that quality of life is
    not determined by having things that we want,
