The leading question of this first step is "WHO AM I?" - what I want to show about myself to the others.
As agreed, we will choose together a "suggested reading" for each step, so that we can share a common activity on it and hopefully help our students in talking to each other when sharing ideas during the live events.
Anyway, if you want to use other readings, that's fine as long as they respond to the leading question and as long as the students discuss their readings with their peers.
The suggested reading for this first step of the project is "Chi sono io?"(Who am I?) by Gianni Rodari.
Activity:
1. Read the story with your students
2. Encourage a discussion on its meaning
3. The students draw pictures based on the text, representing the characters and themselves
4. They share their drawings and ideas with their classmates
5. They share them with the partners in the INTRODUCTIONS forum and during the live events.
Please remember to share in the project library all the readings you used for STEP 1 - Who am I?
We will discuss the readings during the live meetings.

ReplyDeleteThat story is great! I might actually use it with my kids, too.

ReplyDeleteHello! Here's a little feedback on my students' first reading. They read "I am enough" by Grace Byers. The book inspired them to write what they liked about themselves, to choose the most interesting thoughts and ideas from the book and illustrate them. Next week we will prepare a display of their works and I will share a few pics here. Vedrana Frlan (OŠ Rudolfa Strohala, Lokve, Croatia).
