In Italy currently there is a nationwide "lock down" where people are staying in doors to try and avoid getting the coronavirus. The virus is passed from person to person in the same way a cold is passed on, so the idea is to reduce contact with other people so that the virus is not passed on. This means everyone is staying in their house for a short time until the government feels the virus has gone.
Last Friday there was a nationwide flash mob where people across the country sang songs from their balconies to show even though though they could not meet, they were together. People sang football songs, and chants such as, "People like us, people like us, people like us will never give up!" and "come out on your balconies, come out on to your balconies!"; "Tonight the whole of Casoria are united in chorus!"; "We are all united!"
- what is coronavirus?
- what is the best thing we can do in school to be safe? (wash hands, use tissues)
- why do you think people in Italy decided to sing on their balconies?
- why did so many people join in?
- do you think people of different race and religion were joining in?
- "united in chorus!" what does this mean?
- "we are all united!" what are the people of Italy saying about difference?
- How do you think the people felt as they joined in?
- what can we learn from the people of Italy?
- why is this about No Outsiders?
