ACTIVITY WHAT DO YOU SEE?
LESSON A
Instructions:
-
As a class, open up each drawing in full screen and go through the pictures slowly, pausing for questions and responses.
-
What are these drawings about? What do you see in them?
-
Split into eight groups, with each discussing one of the images.
-
Why do you think the child who drew the picture included these things in his or her picture?
-
Does your selected picture describe an experience the child artist has lived through, or is it a picture about his or her current living conditions?
-
How do you feel while looking at the refugees' pictures?
[For the instructor: these pictures were inspired by the prompt "home" and should lead into Lesson B.]
