D.W., Queen of the Comeback / In My Africa
D.W., Queen of the Comeback: The Tibbles tease, D.W. fires back, the Tibbles taunt, D.W. has a snappy comeback, and round and round they go! Will it ever end? Perhaps an ancient Indian fable about a turtle and two wisecracking geese will be enough to teach D.W. to just let it go. Educational Objective: Through storytelling, D.W. learns that it's better to work cooperatively and sometimes let things go rather than to seek revenge. In My Africa: D.W.'s new classmate, Cheikh, is Brain's young cousin…and is also from Senegal, Africa! When D.W. realizes that she doesn't know much about Africa she decides to learn through music - and she, Brain and Cheikh team up to write a song about all 54 countries on that continent! Educational Objective: D.W. learns to research a country before making assumptions about its people and culture. Through collaboration and song, she teaches her friends about Africa.
