Entry Events
Events that will be used to introduce the project to studentsL'asta delle parole: decodificare i significati nascosti
L'insegnante organizza un'asta silenziosa in cui gli oggetti messi all'asta sono frasi o parole che possono essere interpretate in modo diverso a seconda del tono e del contesto. Gli studenti devono 'comprare' le frasi e poi analizzare come il significato cambia in base all'intenzione comunicativa, esplorando l'importanza della chiarezza e dell'empatia nella comunicazione.Portfolio Activities
