6Traits Digest #107 - Monday, November 22, 1999 Voice by "Barbara D. Martin"---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Voice From: "Barbara D. Martin" Date: Tue, 23 Nov 1999 16:35:51 -0700 >Debbie Reid >Last year for my evaluation, I tore out pictures of a variety of people from old magazines. I laminated the pictures. Some of them were of children, some adults, young, old, etc., but the main element in each was the person. Then I passed the laminated pictures out - one to a child, turned over so that no one else could see the picture. Each child then wrote a letter from that person to Santa. (You could have them write someone else just as easily). After all the letters were written, the students returned their pictures to me and I put them up on the wall. = Then we read the students work and let the class guess who would have written the letter. This activity was a great exercise in making inferences based on character appearance and writing from a different point of view. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- End of 6Traits Digest -- To unsubscribe, send any message at all to: 6Traits-off@.
