OCTOBER

Where I live...

Think about the place where you live. Write true sentences with the structure “it … to...”

For example: Where I live… it is difficult to get from one place to another; it feels good to be kind; it is not unusual to help people who need it.

PowerPoint presentation with one slide per idea – students take photos to illustrate the idea. Or record a short video.

NOVEMBER

Storytelling Improvisation: The students are encouraged to get outside into their gardens (if they have one) or their schoolyards during the break or simply on their way to school and look around. They are supposed to find an interesting object (a leaf, a rock or a stone, marking in the ground, a twig, a plastic bag, etc.) and take a photo of it. They post a photo using a sticky note in Linoit. The teachers collect all the object names and put them in a bag. The students grab one slip of paper from the bag and then build a one-minute story around it. This is a fun speaking activity where each student in the group chooses an object from the bag blindly. Then they simply in turn, talk about their ‘life’ as the thing in question whilst others have to guess (for one point) what the object is. As a follow-up activity in class, Teacher could have a short discussion with each student ‘playing their given role’. At home the students work on their stories, polish them and record themseleves while telling it using Vocaroo (online voice recorder).

Using AnswerGarden, a vote will then be organized to choose everybody's favorite story.
