Desde análisis comparativos y ejercicios de escritura hasta juegos de roles y conexiones con el mundo real, estas actividades están diseñadas para ayudar a los estudiantes a internalizar los mensajes de las historias y aplicarlos a sus propias vidas.

Lo más destacado de “Una historia, dos vistas”:

• 8 historias cortas cautivadoras, cada una contada desde dos puntos de vista opuestos
• Fomenta la empatía, el pensamiento crítico y la apreciación de diversos puntos de vista.
• Incluye 20 actividades y preguntas de discusión para una mayor exploración.

This creative Art Room Gaming Badges Activity was designed to be printed and displayed as examples while you teach. Use this Google Slide file to display these beautiful images one-by-one on a large screen. *NOTE: this is a yearly event; it will take most of a full school year for any student to complete all 30 gaming badges…and that’s a good thing! *Students may try for any badge, in any order, however, students will want to start working on gaining easy gaming badges first, before trying to get the harder ones done. *Once students accomplish the criteria for a certain badge, either the teacher or the student may take colored pencils (only) to color the accomplished badge, so it looks similar to the completed version. *Move on to completing another great gaming badge. Good Luck! I hope you and your kiddos love this! Enjoy.

As the school year is ramping up, so is the drama. I've had a lot of different cliques express the same issues; gossip, miscommunication, and misunderstandings. I decided to create some worksheets that can help lead the discussion on how to deal with friendship drama.

Resource includes a true and false section, scenarios they can relate to, the do's and don'ts of drama, and a chance for them to spill their drama to the llama.

Resource comes in color and black/white versions.
