School Activity Kit
Eat, Pray, Naches is a collection of stories from 26 participants from the local Waverley Jewish community.
You are invited to delve into the many different migration journeys, traditions and experiences to make your own projects, cook books, maps of migration and to find out more about your own local communities.
There are seven different activities below, all related to school curriculum, that you can enjoy with your friends, family or school to learn from, have fun with and make your own naches!
-
More than a mark on a map
This activity encourages students to investigate the relationship between places and people in their local community and to explore how the relationship and interaction between them have changed and developed over time.
-
Create your own Eat, Pray, Naches
This activity encourages students to undertake their own Eat, Pray, Naches style interview. They will present their work, providing a forum to learn and reflect on each other’s research and explore the migrant experiences of their class or school community.
-
More than a meal: Culture cookbook
Food plays a central role in cultural expressions, celebrations and identity. This activity encourages students to explore their own cultural and food heritage by researching with members of their family
-
What's the story behind the picture
Photographic images are important sources of historical inquiry and evidence. This activity encourages students to engage in a structured and thoughtful manner with a photograph from the Eat, Pray, Naches website and to then explore the story and the person behind the story.
-
Three generations on a map: Mapping the cultural background of your community
This activity provides a visual snapshot of the cultural background and make up of your class, going back three generations. Using maps to record this information provides a powerful, visual representation of the make up of your community and provides opportunities for comparison and analysis within your class and the migrant backgrounds of the people in Eat, Pray, Naches exhibition.
-
Moments of coming together
By looking into a ‘moment of coming together’, this activity invites students to explore themes of family, community, values, and the many of the ideas expressed in the Eat, Pray, Naches website.
-
The unique and the universal: Stories of post-war migration to Australia
This activity invites students to compare and contrast the experiences of two different migrants or their descendants whose stories are portrayed in the Eat Pray Naches website and to explore the particularities and universalities of the migration experience.
