Everyday Borders and Barriers

I preparation for our next unit (Meeting our Needs), we will focus on ancient China, it’s geography, and the Silk Roads. What barriers led to China being an isolated country? 

Take a slow walk around our school. As you walk, ask yourself:

• What kinds of borders and barriers do you notice?

• How is your movement restricted or prevented?

• Are there any ‘invisible’ borders: places where not everyone feels able to go even if there is not a sign blocking their entry?

• Are there places where you don’t feel welcome or don’t like to go.

Photograph borders or barriers that you notice around our school campus.
