Oh dear! We are already in the month of June. Barely 2 weeks and the school year is over! I'm not going to have enough time to try everything out, I'm afraid. I would love to do another OneWordImage with my students. I have already done that several times in class. I think it is a very nice way of working - I am into that completely! But online? I am not sure if that will work. Especially considering the fact that almost all students follow the lesson on their smartphone. This makes the interaction with the other students much more difficult. This doesn't matter so much for a story with Story-Listening, but for an OWI I think that interaction is much more important. Besides, I don't know if everyone at home has colored pencils. The first time I did an OWI with my illiterate students, it didn't work at all. But then I saw all those videos on the internet of people making an OWI with their students. I tried to figure out what it would take to make it work. After all, it is difficult for alphabete students to use their imagination in a school context. They are not used to that at all. To clarify the questions, I then made a PowerPoint. As a result, they can already see some "possible answers". Once they have gone through those first questions, things usually go smoothly. My OWIs have been working since I started using the PowerPoint. What's more, the students love them too!
