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.
