Before Watching
-
Rice is one of the world's main food crops. It is grown in
fields that are flooded every year. Organize students into two
large groups. As they watch, have half of the class record the
steps from the flooding of the fields to the harvest and the
other half note the animals that have adapted to the seasonal
cycle.
After Watching
-
Discuss the steps in growing the rice that students recorded and
the living things that adapted.
-
In addition to being a food staple, rice plays a part in many
Asian customs, beliefs, rituals, and celebrations. What foods do
students eat that are part of cultural family celebrations?
