Materials

Key points of activity development

Tips
  • In relevant activities where children are asked to report their experiences, personal involvement is required. Personal examples in the activity are strongly suggested.
  • I accept any choices that children make about their identity, even if these may not be true.
  • I use other communication languages if I have a population that does not speak the language of host country. Obviously I encourage students to write in whatever language they want.
  • We seek to use modes other than language (music and images)
Adjustments
  • I select the individual activities according to the conditions that are gradually being formed (time, emerging elements, response and children's ideas).
