Students Tasks
All the students should fill in a reading chart present on the pedagogical
material of the book 'MI-Interdisciplinary approach' by Daniele Krauz, before
the round table.
Visual/Spatial
- Observe the visuals
in the book, cover, pictures, illustrations, when there are any.
- While reading build as many mental images of the
scenes as possible, which aspects are clearer for you? (characters' appearance,
places descriptions, objects, etc)
- How helpful is the text for you to form mental
images, what is missing?
- What images do you remember while reading? (real places or people,
situations, pictures you saw, etc.)
- Produce some visual material showing the most
important aspects or what was more interesting to help you explain the text.
(painting, drawing, collage, computer work, etc) Linguistic - Musical
- Analyze the language, difficulty of understanding,
sentence construction, vocabulary,
etc. Try to guess the new words and imagine the people speaking in your mind
or you reading to yourself. - Pick up a passage that is specially
beautiful or sounds nice and recite to the group, explain what is interesting
for you in that passage. Interpersonal - Intrapersonal
- Pick up one character and make a total description of his/her
psychologically, culturally and emotionally. - Put yourself in the
character's place and explain why this person acts and thinks that way.
-
Explain how you would feel in the character's situation, how you would behave.
- Pick up a passage that is most emotional or expressive for you and explain the
importance and impact of it.
Logical/Mathematical
- After reading the text produce some visual material containing a sequence
of the story and use it to explain the text.
-Make a list of all subjects you can link to the text and connect them
with those scenes. (historical facts, psychological issues, arts, geography,
etc.)
- ask your partners to help you make the connections while you do the
presentation and comment any differences of interpretation.
Kinesthetical
-
Imagine the reading in action while you read as it
was a movie. What kind of emotions do you feel?
- How easy is it to imagine the action, what is missing?
-
Study some lines of a dialogue and act them out with your interpretation of the
scene. |
