Blackout

Blackout is a book about the story of a normal summer night in the

city, when suddenly, the lights went out and everything changed.

The TV shuts off and a boy wails, Mom can't work on her
computer, and Dad can't finish cooking dinner. What's a family to
do?

When they go up to the roof to escape the heat, they find the
lights--in stars that can be seen for a change--and so many
neighbors it's like a block party in the sky! On the street below,
people are having just as much fun--talking, rollerblading, and
eating ice cream before it melts. The boy and his family enjoy
being not so busy for once. They even have time to play a board
game together. When the electricity is restored, everything can go
back to normal . . . but not everyone likes normal. The boy
switches off the lights, and out comes the board game again.

bees and more, his mother says he has a great
imagination, but what he fears most and feels
terrified is at the end of the day with the
darkness; Until Dark becomes like a life; Dark

from all night places and sounds, such as

1. We start with a good night video for our sleepover activity.

Funny’s First Sleepover | Finny the Shark | Cartoon for Kids
Introduction
-Let's be in a da pajamas, read stories about darkness "Orion and the Dark", "Blackout"
- After that, we will ask the questions: How do you feel in the dark? What are the sounds that you
like the most? Which sounds are the ones that scare you the most?

1.
Motivation When we are sitting in a circle, I will ask the children questions such as, for example:

What time do you go to sleep?

Do you read before bedtime? What if you read or read books that are about?
Do you sleep in your room alone or do you share your room and with whom?
What do you like or don't like about the dark?
1.
Evaluation Most of my students participated in the activity and enjoyed it, only one of the students did not
participate a lot in the stories, he was a little shy when talking but he did enjoy activities.

1. Self-evaluation I enjoyed the activity together with my students, but I would like to have more activities to discuss
the different fears they expressed.
1. Pre-assessment Some of the children say or refer that they are afraid of the dark and at bedtime, others indicate
fears, they also say that they feel calmer sleeping with a dim light in their room than when they
must sleep in the dark.
1. Conclusion We will do the sleepover activity as a special day and we will have dim lights while the children are
sitting in a circle inside the tent, I will ask questions about their habits at bedtime, where they
express their feelings and emotions about the dark, we will do a reading and then in front of one of
the walls with the help of a small lamp we will create shadows of animals and we will use figures to
create short stories with Chinese shadows, where we will all participate and have fun, then we will
socialize our feelings about this activity.

1. I will ask you to draw something of the darkness or the sky, it can be the moon, the stars and then
