 TASKS:
7. Each group performs their story: the learners
stand next to each other in a line, facing the
audience, and each learner holds his/her drawing so
it is visible to the audience.
8. They tell the story one by one, going down the
line, with each learner speaking his/her part of the
story while holding the drawing that represents that
part.
 Synthesis Questions and Points:
• In this activity, we began by making random
scribbles on our papers. Then, using our
imagination, we looked for an image in our
drawings. We were asked to reflect about the
meaning of the images we found, and share it with
the group. Afterwards, we worked collaboratively
to come up with a cohesive story. What was this
whole experience like for you?
