Sheila worked with Grade 4, 5 & 6 today, reminding them of the images they'd etched of Burma and showing them the books we have made for the first time.
These boys were liking the etchings of the toddy tapper, who climbs toddy trees and takes the sap. It's used for many things, one of which is toddy beer but the boys liked it because the man climbing the tree is very skilled and very brave. They also liked the bridge to an old pagoda because it reminded them that Burmese people are clever architects and many beautiful buildings are in Burma.
Next, the children who had an etching in the book, found it and stood up. Mimi had made an amazing etching of a Kayan Padaung Mother and Son. The mother has many rings on her neck, which makes her very beautiful.
These boys are THINKING about which is their favourite etchings.
THINK I found it - it's an elephant!
Actually, no, most of us THINK it's Our Lady, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.
That's who we love.
Now you have thought who your favourite is, SHARE it with a friend.
Finally, one person from each pair SHARED what their friend had liked and why.
