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.

Una historia, dos perspectivas: explorando la subjetividad y la empatía a través de narrativas de doble perspectiva

Descripción :

Sumérgete en el mundo de la subjetividad y la empatía con "Una historia, dos vistas", una colección única de ocho cuentos, cada uno contado desde dos puntos de vista opuestos. Diseñada para los grados 5 y 4, esta herramienta invita a los lectores a examinar situaciones familiares desde diferentes perspectivas, fomentando la comprensión, la compasión y el pensamiento crítico.

Cada historia presenta dos personajes distintos, como el tímido nuevo estudiante y el alborotador payaso de la clase, o el atleta decidido y el artista apasionado. Al presentar ambas perspectivas una al lado de la otra, estas historias invitan a los estudiantes a ponerse en el lugar de cada personaje, explorando sus pensamientos, sentimientos y motivaciones. A través de las historias, desarrollarán una mejor comprensión del papel que juegan la personalidad, las prioridades y las experiencias de vida en la percepción del mundo.

¡Pero el aprendizaje no termina con las historias mismas! Este recurso integral también incluye 20 actividades interesantes y preguntas de debate, lo que brinda a los maestros una gran cantidad de herramientas para profundizar las lecciones sobre empatía y toma de perspectiva. 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.
• Adaptable a diferentes contextos de aula y estilos de aprendizaje.

Al explorar estas historias de doble perspectiva y participar en las actividades que las acompañan, los estudiantes:

• Desarrollar una comprensión más profunda de la empatía y la subjetividad.
• Reconocer la importancia de considerar múltiples puntos de vista.
• Fortalecer su pensamiento crítico y sus habilidades analíticas.
• Mejorar sus habilidades de comunicación oral y escrita.
• Promover una comunidad escolar más solidaria e inclusiva

“Una historia, dos perspectivas” es una herramienta esencial para cualquier docente que desee promover el aprendizaje socioemocional, la educación del carácter y el desarrollo de habilidades del siglo XXI. ¡Descárgalo ahora y observa cómo tus estudiantes se vuelven personas más comprensivas, empáticas y de mente abierta!

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.
