Learning Area: iExperience- Myths and Legends

Learning Observed

During iExperience we have been making Connections with Myths and legends from all over the world and with stories from our own families and cultures. We learned the story of ‘The Year Beast’ -a legend from China. We described the beast to the learners and they drew a picture of what they thought it looked like. When I asked Elham to describe her picture she said it was a bad monster with wings, sharp teeth, and ears. When I asked her what the bad monster did she said ‘Crash!’
