| Instruction: “On the next
drawing page of your Hero Book, draw a picture or a map of the place
(village, neighbourhood, city) where you live. Include the places
you go to. Imagine the reader has no idea about your life.
This drawing and what you write must help them understand your life and
how you feel about it. When you write, say something about the places you like and the places you don't. If you feel, for example, GOOD and BIG in some places, and small and HORRIBLE in others, show this via your art work and your words. |
