Économie domestique/Étude de la famille - Relations
Dans ce film, les amis de Kwan Ming constituent sa famille et chacun s’entraide dans un nouveau pays. Discutez avec l’ensemble de la classe des différents types de « familles » et du soutien que chacun apporte à l’autre. Demandez aux élèves de dessiner un portrait de leur famille et discutez du fait qu’il est correct d’avoir une famille différente des autres. Les amitiés importent tout autant que la famille : discutez de la façon d’entretenir avec tous de saines relations.
