Meet Some Ancient Greek and Chinese Friends

Grade 5 was learning about ancient civilisation, especially Ancient Greece and Ancient China for their reading. To get them into the text, I asked students to create a character from Ancient Greece or China in groups. They got to choose the name, age and gender. Then, using information they found in their reading text, they should describe their character:

Hobbies

Parents’/their job

Clothes

Houses

Schools/what they learned

Feelings

Wishes

Those descriptions reflect the ancient civilisation that time.

Once done with their characters, groups decided members that will become hosts/visitors. Hosts will stay in their group to explain their character to visiting friends from other groups (rotated) while visitors visit and listen to other groups’ presentation. Eventually hosts/visitors will take turns so everybody gets to present and/or visit and listen.

Blog: On

Sometime ago I shared an activity I did in the classroom with some of my colleague. Wanting to show how it looked like, I browsed through this long-abandoned class blog of minse for some photos. I found them. But I also found some other activities with descriptions and photos. Brings back memories of my then cute little students and makes me wonder why I stopped blogging.

Blogging means sharing what I do in my class. For others, or maybe just for my future self when I get bored with all the same routines and need some ideas or inspirations or just reminders...

So, let’s start blogging again!
