Memorandum

  • Learners tell the class about something that happened when they were still very young. Ask them to interview a parent or grandparent. Let them tell the class about their experiences (Hist. 2.1). Encourage them to bring from home something which was used by Grandpa/Grandma very long ago (Hist. 3.3).
  • Divide the glass into groups. Each group has to choose and dramatise one of the stories told by their grandparents (A&C 1.3; 2.7).
  • Each learner paints a picture of him/herself. Use a variety of materials for the clothes, hair and eyes (e.g. cloth, grass, magazines, etc. Draw a decorated frame round the picture, using different forms and colours. Let them show and explain it to the rest of the class (A&C 1.9; 1.10; 2.6; 3.7).
  • Each learner brings a photograph of their family to school. Show it to the class and compare the ages and the family members. Make them aware of words (vocabulary) like old, young, middle-aged, etc. See work sheet (Hist. 2.2).
