children's literature

Hello, dear children! Μπορείτε να παρακολουθήστε ξανά την όμορφη ιστορία του Stick Man στον σύνδεσμο  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNScl24zMNI Αν θελήσετε να κάνετε κι άλλη εξάσκηση με wordclouds, επισκεφτείτε τον σύνδεσμο  https://worditout.com/word-cloud/create  για να δημιουργήσετε τις δικές σας ομάδες λέξεων. Σας προτείνω να ξεκινήσετε με κάτι απλό όπως colours, pets or animals, weather, αφού πολλά από αυτά τα γνωρίζετε ήδη και είναι σχετικά με τον Stick Man.  Μόλις ολοκληρώσετε ένα wordcloud, θα πατήσετε εκεί που δείχνει μια μικρή εικόνα (ανάμεσα στο link και σε αυτό που μοιάζει με camera) για να ανεβάσουμε τις εικόνες σας. I look forward to seeing them!!! Ms Maria

As a starter, I recommend the story of Ruby Bridges, one of my favourite ones.

Olivia the Pig is an unusual heroine appearing in children's books challenging school standards and conventional modes. I have used Olivia's stories in class and the children were really motivated and enjoyed discussing the whimsical Olivia who always manages to catch the audience's attention in the most peculiar way. On the following link you can read an article I have published on Ian Falconer's "Olivia Saves the Circus". The article is a thorough account of a teaching intervention with a group of 6th grade students. https://www.academia.edu/26930302/Responding_to_Ian_Falconers_Olivia_Saves_the_Circus_2000_A_literacy_development_project_of_an_EFL_class_in_a_state_primary_school_of_Greece
