A recent post by English Mum gave me the idea of trying this in the classroom with high school students next week. We’re always looking for ways to break the ice and get to know everyone. I will/did change some of the questions like, “What school did you go to,” for obvious reasons.
So, within the first week of class, this is one of the assignments I’ll give to students in Grades 9/10:
First you take a list of questions:
- What is your first name?
- What is your favourite food?
- What school did you go to? [I'll have to change this one]
- Where was your mother born (town/city)? [Used this and #10, as most were born here]
- What is your favourite thing to do?
- What is your favourite drink? [How I got the old man when entering "red wine" is a mystery]
- If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be?
- What is your favourite dessert?
- What do you want to do when you grow up?
- Who/ what do you love most in life?
- Choose one word that describes you?
- Where was your father born (town/city) [Again, adapted to the kids]
Next, type your answer to the questions into a flickr search, then using only the first page, click on an image. Copy and paste each of the urls into the Mosaic Maker.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
