Task 2: My responsibilities at home

We all have different experiences when we are at home.

Each of us has roles and responsibilities when we are not at school that can be very different.

Explore the following video from TVOkids. In this video we'll meet Hope, who shares her life at home with us.

What are some of her roles and responsibilities at home?

Some of Hope’s responsibilities include tending to the Three Sisters Garden, harvesting vegetables, and gathering eggs from the chicken coop. Her family has been doing their chores in this way for a long time.

How do you think Hope feels about growing vegetables in her garden the way her dad taught her?

Your life might be different than Hope’s life.

Explore a few of the following videos. The videos show different responsibilities that people might have at home.

Do you have any of these responsibilities?

Press on the different responsibilities tabs to explore what people might do at home.

After exploring a few of these videos, take a moment to think.

  • What are some of the roles and responsibilities you have at home?
  • Are they the same as any of the responsibilities in the videos?

Describe one of your responsibilities, just like the kids in the video did! You can record your ideas on paper, on the computer, or by telling someone.

Home and school Venn diagram

What is similar and what is different about your responsibilities at home, and at school?

We can use a Venn diagram to help us answer this.

Click the tabs to learn more about how to use a Venn diagram.

If you have responsibilities that are the same at school and at home, put them in the middle space called "both.”

If the responsibility is only at home, it goes into the “home” circle. If it is only at school, it goes into the “school” circle.
