Activities
Methodological recommendations for the implementation
For this activity, you can divide your class into groups if you wish, and give each group a topic. If you want, you can work individually. But the benefit of this work will be more effective when group work is done. We should give our children the opportunity to discuss more and share their experiences. We should take care to create a different perspective by noting their point of view.
