De mensen en dingen die we graag vertellen veel over onszelf. Deze activiteit is een kans voor studenten om na te denken over zichzelf en hun voorkeuren, maar ook op de belangrijkste dingen voor hen. Terwijl veel studenten zeker zullen kiezen voor familie of favoriete dingen, zoals ik hieronder heb, studenten zal ongetwijfeld komen om mensen of dingen die immense persoonlijke waarde te herkennen. Dit is een gunstige brainstorming activiteit ideeën voor persoonlijke verhalen, autoriteit / expert het schrijven, poëzie onderwerpen, en nog veel meer vragen!
Een spin kaart template werkt heel goed met deze activiteit omdat er minder nadruk op bestelling dan is er in een lijst. De Frayer Model template werkt op vergelijkbare wijze goed, maar je bent beperkt tot precies vier items.
Wat doet mijn storyboard u (of uw studenten) vertellen over mij? Welke nieuwe dingen heb je leerlingen leren over elkaar na deze activiteit? Laat het me weten op Twitter! @AnnaMYWarfield

Student Instructions
Encourage students to present their spider maps in a supportive group setting. Foster respectful listening by guiding classmates to ask thoughtful questions and share positive feedback. This builds empathy and helps students learn more about each other.
Start by creating and displaying your own spider map with personal favorites and values. Explain your choices, and use it to demonstrate how to reflect on what matters most. This sets a supportive tone and encourages students to open up.
Prompt students to think deeper about the people, experiences, or values that are important to them—not just objects or family. Ask open-ended questions to spark ideas and challenge students to reflect on unique passions.
Organize a gallery walk or small group sharing where students give compliments or ask questions about each other's maps. This builds classroom community and helps students appreciate diversity in interests and backgrounds.
Show students how their ideas can inspire personal narratives, poems, or expert writing. Refer back to the maps throughout the year when brainstorming topics, making the activity a valuable classroom resource.
The 'Things I Love' activity encourages students to reflect on their favorite people, items, or experiences by creating visual maps or lists. It's a simple way for students to share their interests and learn more about themselves and each other.
Use the 'Things I Love' activity as a brainstorming tool by having students list or illustrate their favorite things. These choices can inspire engaging topics for personal narratives, poetry, or expert writing assignments.
A spider map template works well for this activity, letting students freely organize their ideas. Alternatively, the Frayer Model template limits students to four items, providing structured focus.
Reflecting on personal interests helps students build self-awareness, develop empathy, and connect with peers. It also makes writing assignments more meaningful and engaging.
The 'Things I Love' activity is suitable for all K-12 grade levels, as it can be easily adapted for different ages and abilities.
