Our 6th graders had a meeting with our educational inclusion centre in Motril ( Granada ). They told each other short stories about tolerance and children ' s rights in English and Spanish . The first story was Giraffes Can ' t Dance . It ' s a touching tale of Gerald , a giraffe who wants to dance . However , crooked knees and thin legs make it harder for a giraffe than you would think .
The other story we read was The Grumpy Tree . It told us about an unfriendly tree in the forest that learned the value of having helpful friends . With the help of these stories , we tackled respect among equals and the importance of being good colleagues .
Furthermore , pupils from Biancavilla wrote short stories with the theme of the EU . The stories talk about different problems : immigration , disability , respect and friendship . They made spoon puppets and imagined visiting one of their partner countries . They used puppets to tell short stories and make short films .
Conclusion The activities helped us achieve the aims of our project : to increase pupils ' motivation for reading , develop pupils ' competence in applying knowledge into practice in literacy education , increase the self-esteem of pupils with fewer opportunities and strengthen pupils ' empathy towards different age and
