World Cup Calligrams
I found a football colouring sheet and lightened the lines to pale grey using PaintShop Pro. Braver people could draw their own in pencil ! Then I filled in each section with words about England and being English. These are the images that you can see on the slides.View more presentations from cseccombe.
Suggestions for using this in the classroom:
- Show pupils the images and ask them to read what is written in each section. Why have these words been chosen ? This makes them think about their own country and the things that typify it - community cohesion !
- Pupils then research another of the World Cup countries, finding out similar information.
- Pupils either draw their own footballer or find a suitable colouring sheet and represent their findings as a calligram. It's even better if they use the country's national colours.
- For a MFL twist, pupils can present their findings in their foreign language or even in the country's language !
Hi Clare - lovely ideas - I will try this with some of our classes and see how it goes. Have you used the site image chef? I have had some fun with it.
