The teacher will make a book or a picture album. Every child must bring a picture of an animal (from a magazine, a sticker, a card,... all these things are useful) When a child brings his/her picture, he/she has to show it to his/her mates. He/she has to explain them something about how this animal live, or something about where it lives, etc. In order to know this he/she has to ask for information at home. From time to time, the teacher will ask one of his/her pupils to show the pages of the book to the rest of the class. These have to say the name of the animal they are watching, or what does it eat, or if it is a wild or a tame animal,... , according to the orders from the boy/girl who is showing the book. At this moment the pupils can suggest all the things they know about the animal. They can also speak about what kind of things they can do to protect the animals and to avoid the extinction of some of them. Besides, the children can comment on the benefits the animals can give us. All those ideas must be written in the back of the page in which the picture of that animal appears. With all this information we will make an encyclopaedia about the animals, the ones that live around us and even the ones which live very far away from us.
P.D.: If in our work center we have the chance to use internet, we can ask for information to other schools that take part in the Children's Club, in order to complete our book. In this way, we will have information about very distant and different environments. |
