TCK Activity Kit

This CD contains lessons plans and a digital copy of the book, Life on the Outside. It also includes videotaped interviews with the authors, as well as interviews with both middle and high school students. Advisors and teachers who have piloted this unit praise its effectiveness with third culture kids, especially at the end of the school year when many make transitions to new posts. Used with the whole class, students soon realize they are members of an exclusive club. As one seventh grader said, “This is the first time we actually talked about our lives in class.”

Life on the Outside by Haidee and Maya Dehner

This book is a humorous account of what happens families work overseas and their children are transported to places where they have to learn a new language and have adventures they never dreamed of. Chapters trade off between the mother and daughter to contrast perspectives. International students who have read the book readily identify with the daughter and can use her experiences as a springboard for their own journal entries.
