How adolescents see
themselves- Maria Anna Casoria
These materials are for Secondary School EFL students.
They focus on a particular stage of life, adolescence,
helping adolescents relate adjectives/emotions to artworks and artworks to
adjectives/emotions.
Students are divided into an even number of groups.
Half of the groups has to come up with positive
adjectives to describe “adolescents”; the other groups have to come up with
negative adjectives.
Their task is to compare their adjectives and to try
to match the positive with the negative ones.
The teacher gets feedback from the whole class and shows some
interactive posters realised with “Thinglink.com”.
The teacher asks students to discuss the following
question:
-What adjectives are normally used to describe
adolescent?
-Are you or
sometimes do you feel any of these? Why? When?
Divided in small groups, students search for “Street
Art Works” using:
Each group will create one Google Slides document/presentation.
The slides will include 4 visuals:
- a
street art work to describe how society sees adolescents;
- a
street art work to describe how your family sees you;
- a street art work to describe how your
friends see you;
- a street art
work/picture to describe how do you feel and who you are.
Each visual
will have a short description/caption.
