Structured activity (30 minutes), with
instructions such as "Fold the paper in
half and on one side draw a picture or
write something about yourself that you
love and would never change, and on the
other side draw or write something about
yourself that you wish you could change."
Another instruction might be "Draw a
picture of what animal you would be if
you were an animal." This activity is followed
by creating a zoo or jungle over the
subsequent weeks in which all animals can
live together. In such a project the students
explore sharing space and materials as well
as dealing with issues like sensory overload
and frustration.
