   LOOK AT THE IMAGE,

  What’s going on here? 

   Who & where are these people and what are they doing? 

  Interpreting an image: WRITING A STORY

 Every picture tells a story, the story that you construct in response to it.

 Work closely with the image and consider the thoughts, speculations, interpretations, and ideas that come to    mind. 

  You are looking at the image for the very first time. Let your imagination do the work.

STREET ARTWORK PROJECT

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.

STEP 1

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?

       STEP 2

Divided in small groups, students search for “Street Art Works” using:

Google Art and Culture

Europeana Collection

www.pinterest.com

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.

BLACK FRIDAY

video activity

https://youtu.be/MRvEl0z2TxU

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving.

It is the first day of the Christmas shopping season. In the U.S. many stores have big sales on Black Friday and a lot of people get really excited about shopping on this day.

Many stores open at 12:01 a.m. on Friday morning.

Not everyone thinks this is a good idea. Some people say it isn’t good because it interrupts Thanksgiving dinner and family time; some people get really excited about Black Friday.

They love the chance to save a lot of money on Christmas presents for their friends and family.

People even camp outside the store, so they will be the first inside when it opens.

Occasionally shoppers get too excited on Black Friday: people become aggressive and push each other out of the way…sometimes people fight with other shoppers and get hurt.

Personally I think it is a little scary to go shopping on Black Friday…the stores are packed with excited shoppers..it is aloud and it can be a little scary.

I think I will shop online..that way I can relax and not have to worry about the crowds.

I’ll probably wait for a few days after Black Friday this year.

I just don’t like big crowds of crazy shoppers……

Do you know why it’s called Black Friday? It got the name because many stores finally start making a profit for the year from this day.

When a business is making money, we say it is “in the black”.

Stores are finally in the black.

Questions
