Objective:

First week back at school, class teachers often focus on the themes that enable students to get to know one another in their new class.

Activity Outline:

  1. Activity started with a worksheet that the entire class carried out where students had to find a person in the class who had certain features or physical characteristics. The class teacher read out one direction at a time.
    For example:
    • Find a person in your class who has the same hair colour as you.
    • Find a person in your class who wears glasses.
    • Find a person in your class who has a pet.
    And so on.
  2. Followup written activities for students with physical impairment and learning difficulties were:
    • Take a photo of a friend with the digital camera
    • Download onto the computer and print one copy out
    • Cut and paste under picture a short descriptive phrase about that picture. Descriptive phrases prepared and printed out using Writing with Symbols 2000. (File: describe)
    • Sequence words into simple sentences about all the people in the group using a single Clicker 4 grid. (See file “about us”)
