2. Find newspaper photos of people doing activities that you also enjoy. Put the pictures on separate pages.Write a sentence under each picture telling why you enjoy that activity.

Use colored markers to circle pictures or words that show things both of you enjoy. You may include foods, sports, entertainment, or transportation activities.
4. How well do you know the people around you? Circle something in the newspaper that would interest (a) a parent or guardian, (b) a teacher, (c) your best friend, and (d) another classmate.
5. Compare yourself with a family member or friend. Make two lists: one list showing how you and the other person are alike and one list showing how you are different. Now write a paragraph discussing why your differences are important. Why is it a good idea to have friends who are different from you in some ways?
