Welcome to our Japanese Visitors….

Today is a great day to learn from each other and I wish I could be there with you.  

Mr D'Alfonso will welcome you and I hope you enjoy your visit to Fraser Heights.

What better way to get to know each other and our education system than to work together on a challenge! I know there will be some language obstacles but that will be part of the learning experience for everyone!  Have fun today!

Those of you with Japanese buddies - they will be your partners for this activity. The rest of you, partner with someone you have not worked with so far this semester.

Part I of your challenge:  
Your job today will be to work together to create your own illustrated 6 Word Stories in pairs!

What is a 6 word story you ask?

Take a look at this article and the samples:  "Illustrated 6 word memoirs"

Back Story:  For those interested

The "6 word story" is inspired by a challenge given to American author Ernest Hemingway 

Other samples - creative 6 word stories

This will be tough!  You only have 6 words to tell your story, memoir or message and then illustrate it in some fashion - drawing may be simple, use metaphor, symbolism, colour or not, to convey your message.

Since you only have one block - don't stress about the artistry - focus on creating and sharing your  message throughout the words and image(s) you choose.  At the end of the block you will put these up on the bulletin board nearest the book case. Tacks are in a container near the rolling cart by the couch.
I can't wait to see them!

Maybe some kind soul will take a few pics while you are working and post not the class blog for me to see? or email them so I can post them? (Just remember to ask permission before taking pics of people and ask if you can share them out publicly.  If the other person does not understand you, take pics without the people in them.)

Part II:  Gasp!  It is a "no tech" day for you!  We are talking blank white paper and pencil crayons only!  These are in the Trolley cart between the couch and the door :)

Bonus:  
Who can list all the English Learning Intentions we will be addressing with this paired activity?  (Don't google the answer - think about the skills you will be working on). Comment here!

Have a great weekend everyone!
