Key Concept 重要概念: Community

Communities are groups that exist in proximity defined by space, time or relationship. Communities include, for example, groups of people sharing particular characteristics, beliefs or values as well as groups of interdependent organisms living together in a specific habitat. In this unit the students and teachers are part of a community and are trying to grow that community.
